RBESG 19 Grand Tasting. Enormous thanks to Kermis for these! Red cherry juice mixed with spices, cinnamon mostly. Glühwein made with berry wine and some honey basically. That's the aroma. The taste though... cinnamon, blackberry, got cherry, but might as well be currant, the spicy touches are well integrated, guess the maple and the marshmellow are there mostly to help the mouthfeel and play softly in the background. The alcohol is more evident here though. This is one of those wows. Awesome.

RBESG 19 Grand Tasting. Enormous thanks to Kermis for bringing these. Deep ruby body. Elegant aroma, cherries break through above all the other berries, alcohol makes itself known, and then honey pipes in and says it's there. The cherries rule the taste too, sweet, and clean, and smooth and elegant, over light honey, smooth, so damn smooth, a tart berry (or maybe fermentation?) touch, very well hidden alcohol. A fucking classic.

Bottle. Deep ruby color with no head. Aroma is all the red and dark berry goodness, herbs, leafs, so fruity, just a bit of honey. Taste is the same, so fruit winey, great fruitiness, light tannins. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Wow, really amazing stuff!

Tap at TheHagueCraft. Hazy pale straw with some white bubble ring head. Sweet candylike passionfruit, dubbelfriss(tm) (apppel-wittedruif) fruity soda drinks, applejuice, watered down kiwi, melon, bone dry in the midsection, rice cooking water, soft milky and light cardboardy in the finish. Over medium sweet and moderate bitter. About medium body and soft carbonation. Strange stuff but easy and interesting to drink.
