Tap. Deepest purple color with pink head. Aroma is deep raspberries, light barrel funk. Taste is black raspberries, very juicy, almost jammy, but with enough funk and tartness to be greatly balanced. Just a hint of tannins in the back, dry and refreshing. Okay, this really is worth the praise it gets!

MBCC 2019. Sweet, thick and meady with some sourness, loads of berry juice and blackberries. Quite intense but a bit unbalanced.

Bottle shared by Chalumeaux, dude, killer! Nice color, deep ruby. Aroma is bold blackberry, mild sour hints. Flavor does show quite a bit of jam character. Maybe some red grapes. Little bit of sourness after it open up. Honestly, the jam is bold, juicy blackberry. Wow! Just wow!
