Bottle #43. Huge tip of the cap to Randall for sharing this bad boy. Literally looks like a snifter of blood. Honey aromas. Wow, so sweet with the most intense farmhouse berry and cherry highlights. Takes me back to my childhood when we would pick the blackberries off the bush. Loads of melon and honey notes. Soooo dangerous. Very good mouthfeel and body. Exceptional.

Bottle shared at Kaapse BAF ’15. Pours like red wine with small purple ring bubbly head. Aroma of rich cherries, dark berries and honey with greatly subdued floral notes. Flavour is light heavy sweet. Full bodied with no carbonation. Really delicious and lives up to its score.

Bottle @ Steve_0 during my 10k tick fest. Thanks Armin! Pours a deep purple/black appearance with no head. Bright black cherry, raspberry, Belgian dark chocolate, vanilla, honey, apple aroma. Gooey and super thick. Super fucken awesome. All chocolate, black raspberries, black cherries, rich apples. Oh myyyy. This is fucken Jesus Juice. There’s a chance this is ounce for ounce the best booze per ounce every produced.

Bottle thanks to Colin! Pours a clear ruby with no head. The aroma is currants, honey, booze. Thick mouth, jammy rasperries, black cherry, light honey, hides alcohol well, really enjoyed this one.

Bottle. Pours a clear very deep dark purple with no head whatsoever. Aroma has lots of sweet dark fruit that combines nicely with the honey and has a bit of acid and dryness towards the finish. Flavor full of rich dark fruits with a growing sweetness but a hint of underlying acid adds a bit of bite to round it off perfectly.

Bottle - Rich dark plum, fig, cocoa, tobacco and some spice. Deep black purple. Deep dark fruit, sweet dark berries, chocolate and leather. Sublime and complex. Painfully rare, but worth the wait.
