Four year old barrels were selected for their delicate balance and complexity, then re-fermented in oak with our favorite Oregon Blackberries from our favorite berry farm, and finally conditioned on Thai Basil.
The basil provides a welcome complement and additional depth to the juicy and bright berry character. Balanced acid keeps it invigoratingly drinkable. It is darn yummy.
We're grateful to have had the opportunity to make this with our coastal buddies, and glad to share it with even more buddies.

0,75l bottle at home. Dark Red color, small pink head. Smells basil, berry notes, spices, coriander. Lovely smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes berry notes, blackberries, herbal, spices, basil, rather bitter. Finishes lightly dry and lightly sour and rather bitter with notes of basil, herbal and berry notes. Love this one, super unique, great combination of sour and bitter

Dark red body, with a big, creamy, pink head.
Lovely aroma of jammy blackberries, basil, wood, some citrus. Tastes similar, while more bitter and dry.
Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes dry, quite bitter, wooden, fruity, a bit vinous, with basil.
Amazing stuff! Such a unqiue character, while the berries and the basil work suprisingly well together, this is like something Antidoot would do.
