Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy orange amber, very thin white head. Aroma: Fruity, grape, some tartness, hints of Whiskey. Taste: Typical La Calavera balsamico-vinegar like over medium tartness, combined with a mix of subtle sweetish Rum notes, Whiskey notes and vinuous red wine notes. All barrels present and in some way fighting for the win with the tartness as a stable base. Medium body, almost no carbonation (also quite common at La Calavera). Overall an ok beer with a nice complexity if you drink it mindfully.

Beer balancers are amazing - the patience it takes. This is part rum BA saison, whiskey BA saison, red wine BA "Belgian-style" whatever that means, and 10% fresh saison. Tastes very smooth and balanced, not at all overpowering from the spirits. Lovely.
