375mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is complex and integrated—more like a dark funky sour—with tons of raspberries, lots of red wine barrels, oak, some bugs, and a touch of bugs. Flavour is more like a dark buggy sour, with lots of red wine barrels, lots of tannins, oak, tart raspberries, medium roast, and wood. Very vinous, buggy, oaky, and lightly fruity. I don't usually like fruited stouts, but this drinks more like a complex fruited, wine, dark sour. Excellent.
