(500ml 2016 bottle from boxbeers.dk) Pours a hazy reddish brown with a big, short lived off white head that leaves nice lace. Aroma is heavy on red wine character, sweet and moderately sour at once. Notes of raspberry, blackberry, strong notes of sweet dried dark fruits (dates but also figs etc.), dark cherries, tannic oak, light acetic sherry vinegar quality. Flavour is tart but not sour, charries, raspberries, berry seeds, a little lemon juice, very little acetic acid, fairly neutral wood with subtle wine tones, some crabapple. Fairly dry in the finish, tannic, some berry skins. Light to medium bodied, extremely high carbonation. Promises more on the nose than the flavour delivers, not unusual for WW. Last of my pre-Inbev stock.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours darkly ruddy with a light tan head. Aroma is sourish, woody, fruity. Med body at least. Flavor is dark berry, wood, some darkish fruit. It’s more tart than sour. Were it raspberry I’d be thinking Belgium. Drinks easy. Quite tasty.

Beer’s aromatic with marshmallow, perfume, malt, red wine. Flavor’s not as complex, mainly quite tart, dry, some fruit. Well carbonated which enhances tartness. Good finish.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, brettanomyces, wood, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, brettanomyces, berries, and straw, leading to a tart finish.

Tasted from the tap on the 25/03/2017. Hazy copper colour with a medium beige head. Aroma of cherry, tart, sour yeast and some vainilla. Taste of caramel, red fruits and a dry sour tart finish. Long sour finish. Next one please!

Taste like something I'd drink a few of. Also mixed some with Weihenstephan Hefeweissbier. Really good.
