Draught Rosy-cream coloured head over ruby-highlighted black... fluid. Honey é preserved cherries. Impossibly intense. Sour from cherries, perfumey from... the same. Retronasal almost as smelling from a ladies' boudoir, but gorgeous all the same. Honey... in some disturbing way. All hints of dried fruit, essenced or tinctured. Really deeply complex. Sticky, oily, alcoholbomb. Full bodied, not carbonated in fact. Take away 1/3 of the sugars, and I'lI long for this every day.

Отличный аромат, больше меда чем сока от черри, а вот во вкусе где то поровну. Хороший финиш, немного масленный.

Tap at Peders Turns 8 - Vol 1, Copenhagen 06/12/2024 What a lovely interlude, mix of sweet and tart cherry interlaced with notes of sweet honey and caramel sweetness, almond accents born from the cherry medley coming in, light wooden nuance, nice body and mouthfeel, cherry infused finish. Beautiful.

375ml bottle. Pours a very deep ruby red. Aroma is all the cherries, marzipan. Taste is incredibly rich cherry with a little tartness about them, honey, syrupy sweetness but not cloying, warming alcohol. Absolutely beautiful melomel.
