Huge flamingo pink head, slowly retreating over fully opaque cardinal-red beer. End of bottle solid inclusions. Vinous, cherrystones, paint, faint liquorice, ink. Even more vinous in the flavour. Sweet, but nowhere cloying, with a sourish, very fruity background. Cherries, red grapes, plums. Again, the liquorice can be detected, but it lends a deeper, complex. Finish is dry. Fruit-filled, slick, acidthinning in the finish. Good carbonation. Excellent, Sam! I'm surprised, seen the fact that as a rule, I don't like liquorice (-like) flavours in beer.

Bottle @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022. Anno 2020.
Couleur pourpre vers le bordeau, col fin rosé.
Arôme est délicat avec de fins effluves vineux, petite touche épicée en rétro-nasal qui apporte un appui aux fruits - ici entre anisé/réglisse.

Palais est fin fruité délicat de la barrique - raisin et cerise noire, appui délicat de la réglisse qui vient relever la note finale tout comme la fin de bouche. Le tout reste assez sec en bouche voire râpeux avec un fini barriqué de vin.

Hapu, magus, lääge isegi, funky, lagrits. Veider, aga heas mõttes, lagrits oli ikka esimeses lonksus nagu wtf.

Tastes of berry notes, grapes, licorice, marzipan, spices. Finishes light dry and lightly sour with notes of licorice, grapes and spices. Lovely, the Licorice works really really well. Lovely
