375 ml bottle.
Deep red-pinkish, hazy body, with a small, light pink head.
Lovely aroma of red and dark berries, sour cherries, citrus, vinegar, wood, slight vanilla, some funk as the beer warms up.
Tastes similar, with more wooden notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes wooden, medium dry, medium sour, a bit sweet, very fruity, citric, with lingering berries, subtle blueberry skin.

Lovely! Really complex, lots of diverse fruits, with the raspberries and cherries sticking out, while also with quite a lot of smooth barrel notes. As the beer warms up the funk notes also come through a hit more, adding another layer. Beautiful, balanced stuff, among my favourite Almanacs.
