330ml bottle from Tavour. Indigo pour with a light purplish head. Tart aroma, berries, jam. Taste is sweet before the tartness hits, quite a nice pucker. Black raspberry flavors run deep and long. Wonderful mouthfeel, silky, thick. I can see why this is getting high scores.

11 oz. The top of the bottle broke off when I pried off the cap--yikes. Aroma has notes of raspberry, oak, vanilla, funk. Pours a very deep dark purple with a reddish-purple head that falls into a ring somewhat quickly. Taste is moderately sour (7/10) and quite sweet with raspberry and oak flavors. Delicious.

Tap pour at Indy Man 2019. Pours deep red with a purple pink head. Aroma: some sourness, dark berries. Taste: moderate sweet, light tart, sweet & sour berries - blackberries, blueberries, sour cherry, also vanilla and hints of balsamic. Medium to thick body, super smooth, dry berry skin finish. Such intense berry flavours, it was glorious.
