500ml bottle, thanks to Erzengel! Pours a deep purple, large purple-pink head. Light fruity nose, blackcurrant hints. Light, thin and surprisingly watery on the palette, albeit juicy. Some light smoky hints behind some mildly juicy blackcurrants. Some red wine acidity creeping in mid-way through with nutty echoes. Interesting and different for sure.

Red dark brown. Aroma is slight smoky, red berries, a bit toffee. Taste is tart and very tanniny, cocoa, red wine, some chocolate bitterness, sour berries. Very harsh, but with a good fruityness. Some smoke in the finish. Meh.

Bottle. Black currant, caramel malt, and hay aroma. Cloudy brown with minimal head. Mildly sweet black currant, caramel malt, lightly sour lactic acid, and mildly bitter/dry red wine and hay flavor. Nice body. Very pleasant.

Bottle: Hazy, coloured like old port-wine, long lasting pinkish head; sourish-sweet nose of berries, toasted malt and dry red wine (tannine); moderate to solid sourish-sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, a bit tart, but all in all silky MF; lingering fruity-sourish finish with balancing dark malt and a bordeaux-like tartness in the aftertaste. Chapeau...
