Bottle bought @ systembolaget. Pours hazy ruby red with a big frothy pinkish bluish beige head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of sticky lacing and trace on the glass Smell is fruity and funky with biscuits, raspberries, bilberries, dark grapes, lemon juice, moist wood, "forest fruit" hard candy, bilberry pie, vanilla cream, blackberries, leather, barnyard, hay and dry soil. Taste is sweet, sour, funky and fruity with biscuits, pie crust, black currant seeds, sour cherries, cheap sour red wine, raspberries, blackberries, hay, leather, barnyard, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, moist wood and hints of mushrooms. Mouthfeel is dry, heavy tart, soft and medium bodied. finish is sour, fruity and funky with pie crust, raspberries, lemon juice, moist wood, barnyard, leather, grapefruit juice, cheap sour red wine and hay. Hides the alcohol really well but you want this to be refreshing and not too heavy. This still is way to heavy for what it is. The abv really ruins it for me... --- Beer merged from original tick of Fruit Cake on 06 Feb 2014 at 19:53 - Score: 7
