Nocturn Chrysalis is our barrel-aged wild ale refermented with blackberries. As always, it's super jammy and delicious thanks to the enormous ratio of blackberries we use in the refermentation as well as the singular beauty of wild fermentation.

750mL bottled January 2022, drunk 6/24/22. Royal purple, clear, with a purple head, small, fleeting. Juicy, fruity blackberries with soft, cracker and dough-like malts. Hints of pepper and such with a touch of Brett but not much sourness. No flaw or alcohol. Soft and light in the mouth. Keeping in mind this is 4.7%, it's appropriately flavorful and the marionberries are fantastic. But there's little to no tartness and certainly no sourness. More of a wheat-like fruit beer than a BA sour, not that that's a problem. Clean, soft, malty, well-attenuated, fruity and soft.
