6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
650ml bottle. Clear, ruby red glowing, darkest brown colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Vinous aroma, raisin notes, hints of grapes, red berries and their parings, a perceptible amount of alcohol. Taste is slightly dry malty, slightly vinous, dry hints of fruit parings, a touch of raisin, a touch of alcohol in the finish. Nothing spectacular.
