2018 bottle at the Portland location, 11/8/25. As pictured.
Round and soft with fruity, cherry-vanilla acidity and rich, baguette-like malt. Floral notes with earth and old wood. Nothing aggressive.
Well damn, this has aged gracefully. Big floral notes like heather and chamomile soften things. Light cherry-like acidity. Excellent malt frothy with honey and white bread and a woody dryness in the very end. Lingering pepper and mild funk. Polished and flavorful. Maybe not their most complex blend, bit if it's drinking this well at 7 years, I ain't complainin'.

Flavor shows tart fruits, funky / Bretty yeast, and plenty of oak. Thankfully vinegar is low. Does have some sharp pucker in the glands but not aggressive. Interesting blended sour.
