Dark purple pours, big pinkish/purple head. Red wine barrel is very up front. Dark vinous notes with copious amounts if tartness with some berries and light oak. Perfect mouth feel, great carb. Finish is bright and tart, with some light blue berry, and just random berry flavours. Light bitterness, lots if vinous red wine notes and woody vanilla. Complex and quite nice.

(375ml 2019 bottle from the webshop c/o Herbalist, thanks!) Pours nearly clear deep red wine purple with a small but stable pink head and lace. Aroma is nice and tart with lots of fresh-crushed blueberry and black currant, acidic red grapes and wine, light splash of fruit vinegar and lactic acid, plenty of wood and dried leaves. Flavour is pretty high tart and low sweetness, this is a very fruit forward beer but not a jammy one. Flavour of crushed blueberries and black currants, red wine vinegar, prominent oak barrel and berry skin tannin, some lactic blueberry yogurt bite in the middle of the sip, finishing dry and tart with lingering blueberry/black currant skins and dried leaves. Medium-full oily body with mouth-filling carbonation and no booze. The nose on this is bananas, probably the best-smelling blueberry beer I've encountered. The flavour is necessarily less stunning but this is a great drinker at 9%.

Dark purple colour. Nice aroma of dark fruits. Smooth, highly carbonated, dry, moderately acidic, nice berry and currant flavour.
Very good.

Nice sour berry notes. Deep red with a decent white head. Soured berry notes and a long finish.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium pinkish beige head. Aroma brings out tart blueberries and light oak. Flavour is rather acetic, with balsamic, sour blueberries, and a little oak. Tart, acetic, but fruity and decently structured. Not bad.

Bouteille 375ml, gracieuseté de msjpearson, Thanks Mike! Couleur mauve foncée presque opaque, mousse lilas. Arôme de bleuet, boisé, vin rouge, côté sauvage. Goût de bleuet, acidité moyenne-élevée, boisé, sauvage, astringente. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen. Superbe!
