Aus der Flasche im 2023-12 getrunken. Dieses eher hellbraune Ale erinnert an ein Wheat Wine, da die Getriede Aromen eher leicht ausfallen. Der Ausbau im Rotweinfass bringt eine leichtes Fruchtaroma ins Ale. Verdammt lecker!

clear dark golden colour, moderate sized, dense ecru-ish head, which collapses quite quickly leaving back only some ecru lacing; aroma of quite intensive dry red wine, dried fruits (mainly dried cherry), dark chocolate and slight vanilla notes; taste is much less sweet than the white wine version with definite red winey notes, some acetic acid, dark chocolate and alcoholic notes; it is really amazing that how different it is compared to the white wine edition!

Comparing all three versions of this beer with my brother and my girlfriend. Pours a very clear gold with a very small, almost nonexistent head. Aroma is malty, floral, vinous, grapes, nutmeg, spices, red wine. Big body. Flavour is malty, quite sweet, rich. Spices, some caramel, red wine. Very different from the white wine version, much more round, richer and with a nice red wine note. Lovely barley wine.
