ads135 (7114) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - JUL 11, 2020UPDATED: JUL 11, 2020 This is a unique beer. Deep purple red, some thick black currant aroma, and a sweet and sour finish. Need to share this beer because its a bit too aggressive for an oversized bottle.

rennat42 (4430) - Ravenna, Nebraska, USA - MAR 25, 2020UPDATED: MAR 25, 2020 Bottle.
A- Currants, smoke.
A- Dark purple red color, dark liquid, light pink head.
T- Currants, wet wood, mild herbal bitterness.
P- Medium body, thin texture, flat carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish.
O- Interesting brew. Seems to be some smoke on the nose but it also might be the Ardbeg 10 scotch I drank before this. It felt like I was drinking from a rain soaked log from last night's campfire and it was oozing berry syrup. No idea at all what that even means but that is this beer.

Espuma rosa claro de más de un dedo de espesor y buena retención. Aroma a frutos negros, grosellas y moras sobre todo, ligero chocolate con leche y notas cítricas. Sabor en esa línea, con una acidez media muy agradable y ligero amargor aunque la última sensación que queda en posgusto es de moderado dulzor.

Minimally smoky, roasty, dark malty and fruity aroma, notes of blackcurrant, a touch of chocolate and green wood.

Zlotta (7579) - Hagen, GERMANY - NOV 13, 20180.5 l bottle from 'Vormann Brauerei', 2015 vintage at 10% abv, cellared for three-and-a-half years. Clear, ruby with a thin, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, fairly fruity aroma of lots of blackcurrant, elderberry and a touch of caramel. Moderately sweet, a bit malty, minimally oxidized, gently sour and quite fruity taste of massive blackcurrant, elderberry, some caramel and hints of molasses, followed by a medium long, gently tart, moderately dry, a bit oxidized and just minimally smoky finish. Medium body, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite nice, but the great base beer is pretty much hidden behind the berries. I prefer the standard version.
