750ml bottle share courtesy to Rich. Clear, dark amber, small frothy head fades to bubbles. Fruity, tart aroma, sweetness, yeast. Taste brings a bit of pucker, not too much, more of the berry sweetness, some of the wooden barrels. All pretty smooth. Very well done.

750 ml bottle. Big funky berry nose, wine, vinegar, vanilla, yogurt, some bourbon and wood. Reddish dark brown, almost black. Sweet, tart, lots of berry, cherry, yogurt. Acetic just just enough. Not too sour either. Soft, silky, and smooth. Great.

Bottle at Culmination 16: Poured a dark brown with a light red edge, head was bubble tan. Aroma is full of blackberries and malts. Taste is a mix of roasted malts meets sour blackberries, lots of wood to this as well. Very complex!
