Pours dark redbrown. Scent is bit clinical, but less so than the base version. Taste is full, sweet, harsh 'clinical' aspect is higher here - more so than the aroma, more so than the base version. Not my favorite... might even be my least favorite Kollektiv.

Pours dark amberbrown. Scent is full, chocolate covered raspberries. bit sharp and bandaid like though. Cherry candy (poepegattekes). Taste is full, sweet, with medium acidity. Very honey forward, loads of strawberry, overpoweringly so. Sweet, but not too much. Little acidity in the finish. Decent, not the best one though.

Bottle 32/32, of the last variant (?) made by Kollektiv. What a blast ! .
Pours dark purplered. Scent is full, complex, thick and fruity, milder maple. Mild alcohol. Taste is full, acidic, drying, very fruity, juniper berries are expressive. Quite nice ! Sweet intense backbone. Lovely!

Pours dark browned red. Scent is intense, red berries, sharper than the 7 which I had right before, due to lack of coffee. Taste is full, intense, red fruits, sweet, but with a higher acidity, maple is very mild. Quite lovely!

Pours dark browned red. Scent is coffee, but less so than version 3. Red fruits, thick and full. Taste is full, fairly intense acidity, bringing lots of balance to the intense and sweet base. Coffee is mellow, cocoa present, red fruits as well - carying in the aftertaste. Quite lovely !

Pours clear amberred. Scent is full, intense, some of the berries, coconut and vanilla are very present as well, not the best combo to my personal taste. Taste is full, very vanilla, creamy strawberry compote, mild but present coconut. lacks some fruit acidity to bring balance. not bad at all, but I had hoped for more

Pours dark redbrown. Scent is very dense, less specific than nr's 2 and 3.
red fruits, bit blended in to a wholesome whole. Taste is full, intense berry juice, fairly alcoholic, but not unbalanced. Not as nut (cashew) forward as I had hoped. Still pretty lovely though.
