375 ml bottle, released Aug 2017. Shared by PowY, thanks!
Red-purple, hazy body, with a tiny, yellowish head.
Aroma of barnyard funk, dark berries, wine barrel, some vanilla.
Tastes quite similar, with more barrel, some vinegar.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, medium sour, wooden, fruity, a bit vinegary, a bit vinous, with dark berries.

Very nice. Complex and very fruity, more on the sour side, but still well balanced. Lovely stuff, as always from Almanac.

Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15

Sample at Beer Meets Wood on 09/23/2017. Hazy reddish-mahogany color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of tart fruit, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of currant jam, yeast and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately sour with a blackcurrant aftertaste. Good beer overall.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very hazy red with a pink smear. Aroma is a mix of mild sour and currant. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly sour fruit, and it may as well be currant cause other berries don't seem to fit. It's a bit earthy and woody too. Perhaps even a little musty. Very nice sour.

On tap at Almanac, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart currants, with medium acidic and a touch of oak. Flavour is intensely acidic, with lots of red currants, oak and intense tartness. Harsh and super acidic. Not an elegant sour.
