Deep dark reddish purple. Smells rich, super jammy, loads of berries, sweet. Smooth body, some boozyness, yet surprisingly light. Taste is intense berries, some light of vanilla, and something I can't really place, like plum skins. Complex.

It's sweet, but with elegance; deep currants flavour, aroma of hop, and boysenberries, wax; strong honey character, some tannins, mild acidity, deep wet forest. The alcohol is present, warming, perfectly blending in. Delicious.

Bottle pour at Schramm's, pours a deep dark mahogany. Aroma reveals gorgeously intense boysenberries upfront, with the honey taking a back seat - it provides a base more than it exudes aromatics. Flavour is rich and decadent, with intense boysenberries, moderate honey presence, and some treacle. Very sweet but appropriately so. Semi-boozy, dessert-like elegance on the finish. Lovely.
