The brewery opted for blackberry juice sourced from Valley Processing, in Sunnyside, Wash., instead of whole fruit both because it’s easier to use as an ingredient and for its richer flavor. The cherries used in Regal Rye are Luxardo cocktail cherries; the beer also incorporates the cherries' bright, sugary syrup. The sea salt “adds another layer that will make the flavors pop slightly — depth to something that’s already deep.

10 jaar oude fles, één van de vele BCBS varianten die de laatste tijd Nederland overspoelen. Kleur is vrijwel zwart, schuim is er hoegenaamd niet. Geur van bessen in het kwadraat, met daaronder nog wat van het basisbier, bourbon, bruine suiker, vanille. Retronasaal is het zo'n beetje andersom, veel meer bourbon en zoetheid, de bessen zijn er ook nog duidelijk, maar wat meer naar de achtergrond. Smaak is zoetig tot zoet, met wat bessige zuurheid. Het is wel wat dunnetjes. Wel genoeg koolzuurprikkeling. Smaak blijft hangen, en dan komt er ook iets van de veroudering boven. Toch nog steeds erg lekker.

Bottle @ Sanderslum Pubbens Vintage launch/Solar Eclipse pt. 3. - The darkest hours. Pours black with a small beige head. Woody and dry. Complex. Sweet mocha, vanilla and a touch of berries. Smooth and soft. Warming alcohol. Savory.
No blackberry or cherries, boozy, malty, whisky and chocolate. Fairly dry and bitter. Drinkable, rating redacted. Would be maybe 3.8.
Smooth, slightly roasty and salty with some rye barrel, chocolate, cherries and earthiness, hints of tartness. A bit past its prime already, but still surprisingly good
Finally we opened this, almost 6 years old. Still in very good shape, but some age and softening is noticable. Definitely still blackberries there, light cherry, plenty rye and its sharpness. Boozy for sure, some chocolate base.
