Deep dark red colour (EBC 40), with a light pink, compact and lacing head.
Soft fruity aroma, with hints of almond and mildly sour cherries. Sweet and fruity, with a nice balance between sweet and sour. An excellent dessert beer.

0,33 l bottle. Pours deep ruby red with medium, big, off light pinky head. Head head reasonable retention and some lacing. Aroma of sour cherries, a bit of malt, sweetish. Once it warms up a bit there is also elderberry. Body is heavy, sticky sweet and mild bitter. Way to sweet for me. Finish starts sweet and follows with unpleasant bitterness. As it warms up, there is also plenty of elderberry in aftertaste. Not best effort.

Dark ruby red with large pink head. Cherry, elderberry, malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet cherry, elderberry, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Decent - nice light sweetness.

500ml can. Deep purple body, more so than red. Cherry tone is there, but not really that raw or booming, extract feel. Drinks like an Imperial Cherry beer, relatively thin body for the ABV, odd artificial strange finish. Not that good at all, medicinal flavors.

Barwa miedziana, niemal klarowne, piana w kolorze beżowo-różowym, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie wiśnia, czarny bez, estry.

W smaku lekko kwaskowe, słodowe, słodkie, owocowo-estrowe. Brakuje nieco kontry chmielowej.

Goryczka niska, wysycenie wysokie, ciało w normie, czuć wyraźnie alkohol, brakuje nieco pijalności.

Trochę za słodkie.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce segni di fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è moderato e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, pane cotto di recente, frutta secca, frutta rossa, mandorla fresca e ciliegia.

Аромат хороший, хотя нотка алкоголя уже есть. Запах в целом приятный, очень сочный, много сладкой черешни, немного травянистости и пряностей. Цвет насыщенный, ярко красный с пышной пенкой. Вкус хороший, но все же не очень сбалансирован, прежде всего немного смущает нотки алкоголя, затем слишком большая сухость при глотке. Хотя очень приятно все же сладкая черешня и фрукты с нотами ягод. В целом они снова не разочаровали.
