Al naso arrivano caratteristiche di fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si fermano sentori di miele, nocciola, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, spezie, arancia amara, erbe aromatiche, frutta disidratata, prugna, vino rosso e marsala.

Je ne suis pas le plus grand amateur des bières brassées avec du raisin avec toute l'acidité qu'il amène. Mais connaissant le montepulciano qui est un vin très intéressant, je me suis laissé tenter par ce Grapevine. Personnellement, je n'ai pas reconnu dans la bière le montepulciano, mais j'ai bien ressenti l'acidité ! Bref, cette bière n'est pas trop dans mes goûts. En verre nous sommes sur une robe rosée voilée avec une effervescence peu soutenue et sans mousse. Le nez est sur le vinaigre de vin, le raisin et de légères épices. L'attaque est sur une complexité intéressante. Les épices sont un peu plus marquées à la dégustation. L'acidité est trop marquée à mon goût mais j'ai connu plus marquée. La présence en bouche est modérée mais la bière reste longtemps en bouche. Pas mon trip et déçu pour du montepulciano.

Bottle. I'm fan of De Ranke, rated quite some beers of them but in one way or another never rated this beer before... Time for a chance.
Color: Slightly hazy golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Belgium yeast, fruity stone fruit and yellow fruit esters, malty with some hop. Taste: Yeasty, fruity esters, malty with a nice floral hop background. Medium body, average carbonation. A bit sweetish but also a nice hopbitterness. Definitely will get this one more often.

0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', bottled in February 2025. Hazy, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, cocoa and dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly roasty and a little fruity taste of caramel, cocoa, toasted nuts, dark fruits, some clove and traces of coconut, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, slightly yeasty-spicy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant and well-balanced beer, quite rich and saturating.

Towering greige head over brown-tinted, almost black beer. Very roasty, Maillard, roasted nuts, faint meatesters, burnt pistacchio, caramel, toffee. Dry roast, tobacco, ashes with a bitter hopflavour finish. There is a slight acidity, but more from the CO² than from real stoutacidity, I think. Cigar leaf, and more sweetness in the aftertaste, warming up. Medium bodied at best. Creamy texture, txs to the head, but the beer breathes a quite light impression. Well carbonated, all the same. I was expecting more fireworks, but somehow, it advertises authenticity on the porter front.
