6.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Purple with small pink head. Citric aroma with cranebrries and, of course, black currant. Dryish and medium bodied The berries are very evident, but they never seem out of place. Lightly yeast and quite refreshing. No bitterness. Is this stuff really over 8%??

Deep purplish burgundy colour. No head. Aroma of black currant, peppery alcohol, pears, candyish malt. Fruit-first, moving towards a muscular alcohol finish. The malts - while clearly candyish - remain in the background and gracefully disassociated from the currant. Nicely balanced.

Dark brown with ruby highlights. No head, unfortunately. Chocolatey, nutty aroma promises depth. Body is moderate, as is the sweetness. Hints of nut, chocolate, muscovado. Probably could use a bit more fullness but what’s here is quality.
