IPARater72 Profile

Reddish yellow pour with a tiny white head. The berry aroma and taste is somewhat overpowering and artificial, only hints of apple. Not mindblowing, tbh.

Clear brown pour with a small tan head: aromas of caramel (somewhat dominating), salt and milk. Taste is caramel, cream/milk, salt, (roasted) cocoa. OK overall, but not mindblowing. A higher ABV could have been interesting.

Train beer, dark red colour with a rose head. Aroma is mainly sweet cherries, some syrup as well. Taste is cherries (sour and sweet), some sugar, hints of malt and herbs. Not bad overall, but maybe you get rid of the added sugar.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5

Dark brown pour with a touch of red. Large, stable tan head. Aroma is quite strong: red wine (as expected), vanilla, cocoa, wood, rasberries, some acidity as well. Taste is red wine, cocoa, cream/milk, some wood as well. Pleasant boozy finish as well. Not bad, but thought the cask finish would be slightly more prominent.
