Bottle. Deep reddish brown with no head. Aroma of cherries, balsamic glaze, strong bread, oak. Moderately slippery texture, carbonation is very low (but it’s not flat, though supposedly supposed to be). Not all that acidic or sour but both are there with cherries, bread and oak that’s edging up on intrusive. Autumnal and easygoing with a brooding lurking funk behind. Very good.
