Lasting, dusty pink head with tight bubbles on burgundy/amber body with chestnut highlights. Intense aroma of black currants and leather followed by candy-like fruit, notes of spearmint and barnyard. Carbonation is lively with a crisp, minerally mouthfeel, deep and round flavour dominated by red berries leading to smooth lemon-like acidity in the finish with a salty note.
Early release version on keg at MBCC 2021 was 6.5% ABV.

Pours dark redpurple. Scent is intense on the red grapes. Taste is sharp, tart, very grape forward. A bit one-dimentionnal to the grapes for me.

Draught Deep burgundy-purple beer with a small white rim. Vinous perfumed beer, with lavender or rosemary aromas, also rosewater, cherry, cassis, raspberry - a jumble of aromas but absolutely balanced. Vinous, cassis, but also acids; fruit-, lactic-, and even a pinch of acetic. Blackcurrant finish. Rather well-bodied despite the acidburn and --thinning. Remarkable, excellent fruitbeer.

11/XI/22 - on tap @ Billie’s Craft Beer Fest (day 1), BB: n/a (2022-1518) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Cloudy purple brown to ruby beer, small creamy off-white head, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, a bit fruity, alcohol, dried fruits, funky, sourish impression. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: very sourish start, lemony, a bit soapy, earthy notes, very bitter and dry, spicy touch. Aftertaste: lots of acidity, vinegar notes, dry and spicy, earthy, wood, tannins. Not as fruity as you would hope for from the description.

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022.
Cuivre/ambre, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme au nez fin fruité - effet vin rouge/barrique présent avec un retrait agréable de cassis qui revient plus en rétro-nasal. Le tout passe bien avec l'apport de la barrique.
Palais sur une belle présence de 'foeder' avec un fruité rappelant ici le cassis et les groseilles, fine note surette en retrait et un retour plus prononcé de la barrique de Chianti. L'apport du Mosaic comme houblon apporte peu en terme de complexité.
