Bottle, 375ml corked. A clear deep candy red beer with a small, dense off-white head. The aroma has loads of berries, raspberry, cherry and blueberry it seems, along with a lemony funk, barnyard, leather and hay. Can't really say I detect the grapes that were used. It's full-bodied, lightly oily and chewy, with lemony acidity, some leather and barnyard and lots of dark berries. Hints of gooseberry and hay. Some fruity sweetness too. Lasting berry-driven finish with a good funky touch and some buttery, biscuity maltyness. Really nice this one, no berry standing out, just a good mix. Might have felt some grapes in the very end, but don't think I'd noticed if I didn't read the commercial description. 230412

Bottle. Almost clear, orange/red body under a small, pale pinkish head. Aroma is funky with lots of red berries and hint of wood, the raspberries being most dominating. Taste is refreshing sour red berries, lemon, mild wood and hint of chewing gum. Raspberries is dominating the taste here as well. Fine body with long lasting, tard and sour raspberry finish. Sampled April 2023 but feels still a bit young.
