Bottle. Pours a dark purple with medium pink head that lasts. The aroma is strong funk, raspberry, oak, floral, yeast. Slick body, jammy raspberry, funky, oak, light tartness, very nice.

Beautiful fruity aroma of raspberry Pours inky with a purple head that sustains as small bubbles around the edges. Flavor is berry and tart. Delicious.

Big bottle shared with Vasily, Vran, Beer Bubble and others. Deep purple, pink head. Vinous, red wine, lots of fruit, blackberry, funky notes underneath, light barrel. High carbonation. Dark fruit, blackberry yoghurt, fresh fruit, quite sour. There's leaves, bitter herbs. Light finish, medium body. Quite sharp. Puckering.
