750mL bottle blend #2, at the Cellar on 2/14/24. Bright cassis-amber. Thin, pinkish head. Clear. Rich, chalky, tannic currant somewhat softened by the beer. Bright and tart, clean and aromatic. Fruity, juicy. Juicy, soft as hell for cassis, wow. Bright and peppery. Malty, dry, rich and juicy. Wow, I frickin love the fruited fermiers and this one is a standout. So mellow for such a difficult fruit. Earthy, mineralesque, chalky, delicious.

Teku showing dark blueberry with sparse white foam.

The nose shows intense notes of brett and boysenberry.

The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Highly tart with moderately intense vegetal notes that evolves into black forest fruit.

Bottle at Side Project Fermier. Pours a cloudy purple with medium pink head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong currant, grape skin, oak, funk. Medium body, jammy, currant, oak, vinous, light acidity, enjoyed this.
