Intensiver, mild säuerlicher Malzbeginn. Die Säure ist dezent und gut eingebunden, rote Trauben, schokoladig, rund. Cremig, die Malzigkeit bleibt intensiv, kaum alkoholisch. Vinös, langer Nachgeschmack. Gut. 9/11/9/11/11/11

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A clear dark orange brown beer, no head. Aroma of red wine, some wood, strong dark malt. Taste of strong dark roasted malt, coffee, some wine. Boozy finish.

Taster at the Hanging Bat. Dark burgundy/brown pour, small thin beige head. Aroma favors the red wine with soft chocolagty notes, while the taste features the sweet, silky chocolate accented by the wine. Sweet and sour, deep.

330ml bottle SophiesBeerStore.co.uk. Pours dark with a deep dark brown with what appears to be dark purple hints. Thin ring of off-white form atop. Aroma of dark berries, deep malt, red wine hints. Taste sees a harmonious marriage of burnt roasted malts and the robust tannic grip of red wine, with vinous dark berries providing some welcome plummy fruit shades that work wonderfully with the dark malt layers and woody tannic textures. Excellent.

0.33 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, bottled in July 2020. Black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, quite vinous-fruity aroma of dark chocolate, red wine, coffee, licorice and red berries. Gently sweet, malty, moderately roasty, fairly vinous-fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, red wine and red berries, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly earthy, rather vinous, moderately woody-dry finish. Medium body, a little astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. The red wine and the dark malts match perfectly again, really impressive composition of flavours. The woody dryness cuts nicely through the sweet malts, and it's extremely quaffable. Very good!

03-10-19 // bottle from Getränke Stumpf. Quelle melange!! Fantastic blend of a roasty imperial stout and a dry redwine. Nose blends both. First and in the end the redwine. In between the roasted malts Lets see what ageing is doing to this.

Black with thin head. Aroma and flavour have lots of woody dryness and sharp fruitiness from the red wine. Very well balanced with the fullness and richness of the stout.

Wine-blended strong stout by this new (2017) microbrewery in Frankfurt, tasted at BXL Beerfest. Very thin, loose, off-white, bubbly head, quickly reduced to an ‘interrupted’ ring, black robe with cloudy, bit murky mahogany-ruddy edges. Aroma of dry red wine indeed, coffee grounds, soaking wet ‘fondant’ chocolate bars, cooked redcurrant berries, damp earth, wood glue, beef stock, tree leaves, red grapes, blackberries. Sweetish onset, blackberry jam, fresh fig and blue plum hints, light beefy umami accent, soft carb, thick but vinous, bit astringent mouthfeel – due to a long-stretched, very tart, earthy and drying wine effect deeply penetrating the nuttiness and ‘dark-chocolateyness’ of the malts. Ends with lots of red wine tannins, tart, dry and very earthy (a bit ‘dirty’) even, with lingering coffeeish and chocolatey aspects in a warming, eventually rum-like alcohol effect. Complex, tannic and earthy, very interesting how the added wine turned this stout into something of a sour stout in a fascinating way.
