Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong port with red grapes, oak, malt, more red fruity notes. Touch of cherries and caramel. Flavour is light sweet with a little tartness, drinks below its hefty abv. Body is medium. Intense port influence.

Bottle from the brewery. '2020 series'. Clear dark amber-brown, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of ruby port, blue grape, wood, almond, blackcurrant, unripe cherry, carré confiture. Taste has sweet-sour blue plum, grape & currants in an almondy, fruit cake-like malt body; somewhat herbal & woody bitter. Herbal hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, soft woody tannins, and warming port-like alcohol (but fairly subtle at this ABV). Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very fruity, berry-like, vinous, lacking a bit in malt body.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal vinoso. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, crosta di panettone, frutta secca, agrumi, spezie, arancia rossa, frutta passita, uvetta bagnata nel rum, rabarbaro, vino rosso, vino Porto, pepe, chiodi di garofano, liquirizia, mais cotto e vaniglia.

Robijnrood bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is vrij zurig voor een dergelijk bier, wat ik bij de meeste Emelisse bieren uit deze serie proef. Voor mij net niet wat ik er van verwacht. Verder iets van bessen waarbij ik de port eigenlijk nergens terug vind. Jammer.

Bottle. Deep dark brown color, vinous aroma with port, bubblegum and citrus, sour, oaky flavor with port, bubblegum and vanilla. Sweetness reduced by the noticeable barrel aging. Lovely.

Clear deep amber brown beer, small pale tan head that is gone in a jiffy. Smooth light palate, modest fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, a touch of creamy sweetness. Whispers of caramel and toffee. The ruby port barrel imparts light berries that develop into riper and richer fruits. Finishes light and mildly spicy. A grower. First couple of sips and I thought this was a bit light on flavour for a 13.7%, but it gradually charms with its well integrated flavours and very light drinking.
