Bottle thanks to Art. Pours clear reddish hazel, small creamy beige head that quickly dissipates to a ring but then sticks around to contribute to ambiance and lacing. Aroma is quite pleasant, blackberries, tart cherry, oak tannins, a bit vinous, some musty earth, but no real funk. Flavor is initially a bit sweet, then fading to a light plus tartness, lots of blackberry and oak, a hint hint hint of funk, vinous. Faintest of vinegar tones accompany the onset of tartness, a bit harsher than the best. Quite a bit of residual sugar here as well. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. All in all a nice effort.
