375 Bottle. Batch 4. Pours an opaque reddish purple. Aroma is cherries, oak barrel and a trace of vanilla. The taste is tart cherries in the forefront with woodsy oak barrel, some whiskey and a trace of vanilla. The palate is full and coats the mouth well. Overall: Awesome Sauce!

Deep brilliant red, tears in the glass. Huge alcoholic, fortified wine nose; vintage port, X-mas fruitcake. Sweet, but somehow not cloying. Diverse red fruits, all dried & preserved, seeped in alcohol and dried again (that's how it tastes, not how it's made!). Thick, oozy, rich and warming. That is also how to rate it, but... great as it is, I've had Polish meads that were at least as good and sold for a third of the price.

On tap at Schramm's, pours a dark mahogany. Aroma reveals intense bourbon barrels upfront, with gentle cocoa and a hint of vanilla. Flavour and a full of intense bourbon upfront, followed by tart cherries, a little vanilla, and some cocoa. Beautiful depth and complexity to this. The bourbon accentuates the cherry beautiful. Elegant.

Bottle courtesy of Biggsbowler. Pours deep red leaving plenty of legs on the glass with a swirl. Mellow yet clear sweet cherry nose with vanilla and a hint of dusty cocoa. Very light floral honey, earth and charred wood. Sweet and slightly sour taste. Round fairly viscous tart mouthfeel with a clear kick of booze. Very good but I must confess I prefer regular statement before that. Vanilla and chocolate distract from the lovely cherries and honey. Looking forward to a reserve version with schaerbeekse cherries though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Schramm's The Rebuttal on 14 May 2018 at 20:41 - Score: 8
