On tap at Sovereign, pours a clear dark mahogany—like a red wine, but with a small pink head. Aroma is pretty full-on, with lots of tannic red wine, red grape skins, and wild yeast. Flavour is wonderfully complex, with lots of vinous character. This is as close to red wine as beer gets. Tannic, musty, and wild. Really fantastic.

Deep red-purple. Thin head. Deep vinous nose, threatening me with butyric acid though. On the palate, big happy juicy, the grapeyist of the ones I’ve sampled here. Lots of oak and tannins in the finish. Reminds me a bit of Wild Ambition’s A Suggestion of Dark Places in that it takes wine-beer hybrid and pushes how far in the wine direction you can go.
