The aroma is sweet with strong notes of black currant. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of black currant, leading to a dry and slightly woody finish. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 28, 2007 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Purple with small pink head. Citric aroma with cranebrries and, of course, black currant. Dryish and medium bodied The berries are very evident, but they never seem out of place. Lightly yeast and quite refreshing. No bitterness. Is this stuff really over 8%?? Oakes (6966), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 23, 2007 Deep purplish burgundy colour. No head. Aroma of black currant, peppery alcohol, pears, candyish malt. Fruit-first, moving towards a muscular alcohol finish. The malts - while clearly candyish - remain in the background and gracefully disassociated from the currant. Nicely balanced. oh6gdx (6331), Vaasa, Finland Sep 28, 2007 Bottled@SBWF2007. Deep red colour, not much head,. Aroma is black currant, blueberries some hops and slight glueish notes. Flavour is black currant, dark berries and quite bitter fruity.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007-09-20, 4-3-4-2-7=20 Cloudy dark brown color with purple shades. The aroma has a light sourness, more the flavor. Ok, there is some fruit, but there is nothing else interesting here. The aroma has also a light vegetable touch. Weird.
