Van Honsebrouck - St. Louis FramboiseI picked this up more for my wife than myself. I had to hide it until it was time to review. As soon as it came out, she said ‘I didn’t know we had that’. We being the stressed word there. So I poured just one glass. Tired it and handed it off to my wife where it spent it’s time being drank straight and then mixed with the 1888, she said that was awesome. From the bit I had I knew the red colored beer with the raspberry aroma would be good. It just took too long to pour. I had to pour it at least four times to fill one pint glass. The taste was sweet and a bit bitter. For me I would drink this too quick and get really liquored up, which with a ABV of only 2.8 I would need a case to drink before the buzz would hit.

Specs: 750ml corked bottle
