The taste is dry, tart, woody, vinous, some acidity, red berry, sherbet, Granny Smith apple, celery and wood with a drying, milky astringent finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I like elements of, but it is a bit rough and ready.

Bottle split at Level 42, thanks to Kenny, 07/09/16. Lightly hazed amber with a reddish glint, topped with a decent beige head. Nose is tangy dark fruits, vinous, spice, varnish, light vinegar strokes. Taste comprises soured fruits, spice, fruit balsams, vinegar notes, acidic, oaky wood pissoi, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close, rising acidic bite and a puckering finale. Ok but lacks complexity.

375 c&c from Final Gravity. Pours coppery brown with a transient beige head. Aroma of tart cherry and wood. A little acidic. Med body or so. Flavor is tart cherry and wood, and it’s followed by a definite oxidation flavor. I’m betting it’s from a musty barrel. I like oxidation in moderation, but for those who don’t it’s likely to be off putting. Finishing tartly astringent. Cherry might really be other red berry. Quite nice IMHO.
