Draft. Purple-ish beer with a pink head. Wine-like aroma. Wine and light malt flavor with big red fruit. Medium bodied. Wine notes linger with grape and fruit.

Glass thanks to Mark at Craftsman. Pours a hazy purple to red color with a very generous white head that stays for the duration. Aroma is a bit spicy, and vinous with grapes. Taste is very nice, with a bit of tart grapes (albeit not sour), and some nice Belgian yeast esters that add a bit of spiciness. Smooth mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Pleasant beer. Very well hidden alcohol if it really is 8%.
on more recent tastings, jam and sage notes toward the finish...and of course wine.

On draught at O’Brien’s in San Diego. This beer pours a deep reddish-purple color with a medium thin and fizzy pinkish head that burns away steadily. Spotty lacing on the chalice. Vinous aroma with notes of sweet malt in the background. Medium, dry body with tart cabernet grape and malt flavors, along with a bit of spice. The finish is fruity with a lingering fermented grape aftertaste. Interesting and pretty enjoyable overall.

Purplish colour with a thick purple head. Rich cab nose with light beeriness and some pepper. Dry and hugely vinous - a big expressive beer. Nice round beery body, finishing very dry with a huge grapey character. Crisp, fruity finish.
