A burgundy red ale with a very thin white head. In aroma,, sweet fruity malt with raspberry jam, loads of Brett and horseblanket, Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity raspberry jam with light Brett, light lactic notes, light buttery notes, very nice and smooth. On tap at Pit Caribou Montréal.

(750ml bottle shared by Quentin, thanks!) Pours clear purple-red with a small pink-white ring and no lace. Aroma is very aronia-forward, that tart and lightly sweet, vaguely cherry-meets-cranberry in red wine character, nice fresh mint, dusty funk, earthy, softly funky in a way that lets the adjuncts shine. Flavour is lightly sweet, very lightly acidic, and fairly dry overall. The mint is quite prominent but the red wine-like quality of the aronia is not overpowered, with some dark cherry and forest berry, moderate tannins, soft earthiness, restrained funk, acidity is quite light (lactic), finishes very dry with earthy Brett, tannic aronia, fresh mint sparkling nicely all over the depth of the berry in a very pleaseant way. Light to medium body, grippy, smooth fine carbonation. The match of the aronia and mint is surprising and inspired, really elevating the confounding characteristics of the former. The spontaneous base is 'calm' but supports nicely.
