Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is tart dark berries, dark malt, mild touch of chocolate, dark fruits, lactic notes, hint of smoke if you know where to look for it. Flavour is tart and moderate to medium sour. Body is medium. Loads of tart and sour dark berries with a dark malt chocolate backbone, hardly an epiphany but a nice effort. Would have liked some more smoke though.

Bottle. A- Smoke, blackberry, mild cocoa. A- Black color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Smoke, sour, blackberry, mild chocolate, grape. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- I haven't had many lichtenhainers but I imagine this is sort of what they resemble at least to a degree. Lots of smoke which is very lovely but it is balanced by dark fruits, especially blackberries and a nice chocolate sauce that seems to almost coat the tongue on the finish. In a way, I would also compare this to a nice bold red wine. Really enjoyable in an unexpected way.

I was having a hard time picturing with this would be like. Aromas are tart smoked malts and a little fruit. Flavors are exactly like the nose, with carbonation enhancing the tart. Decent body with long mildly sour finish. Different and good enough, but I don't see myself looking for it again.
