Dark red, clear, fairly thick. Heavy fruity smell, sweet, boozy, cherry, raspberry. Nice body, not too thick but soft and luscious, with a warming boozyness. Taste is rich and intense fruity jam, like we love from Schramms. Loads of cherry and raspberry.

Did not expect to love this as much as I did, the cherry turns out to be tangy sweet which really pairs with the jammy raspberry well for a uniquely fantastic experience.
