Bottle. Pours hazy, dark red, with a big creamy, red head. Aroma is promising with blackcurrants, forest berries and fruit peel, as well as notes of wood and sugar. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is unfermented, sweet yeast and musty blackcurrants, as well as notes of vomit and cardboard. Hopefully, for Emelisse at least, this was an off bottle, because it tasted really awful. Won’t take my chances to check it out, though...

Bottle from het Biermoment, BB 06 2016, large sample. Clear ruby color, medium purple frothy head. Aroma of cassic, slight tart, bit wheat. Bit sweet in taste, loads of fruit, blackberry, slight tart, little marzipan. Bit sticky palate. Ok stuff

Dark red with a pink head. Smells of mixed dark berries (at this stage I’m still under the impression it’s going to be blackberries), a bit of wheaty tang, some leaves. Taste is a muddle. Very sweet, with a little sour tang that you wished hung around a bit longer. Turns out the Black Berry is blackcurrant not blackberries and there’s a bit of an insufficiently diluted Ribena taste that’s syrupy and vaguely artificial. Fake cherries. Some other berries too, presumably due to the Brambling Cross. But if there’s any bitterness it doesn’t cut through at all. Some leafy and herbal notes. Went to look for tonic water to see if that would help, but had none. Not my sort of thing at all.
