Ensorcelled is a blend of our oak-aged red sour beer (Scott Tenorman) and oak-aged black Brettanomyces beer. After blending our red and black sours together, we added raspberries and let the beer age in barrels for a few more months.

Vinous fruity and dry flavor. Absolutely stunning! Thanks to Hallinghansen and Plovmand for convincing me trading this.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out juicy raspberries, a touch of oak and funk. Flavour is about the same, with loads of juicy raspberries, light funk and a touch of oak. Really well-balanced and forthcoming on the raspberries. Excellent.

Shared by Jeff. Muddy brown color. Very good berry flavors with dry oak, wood, and red wine. Moderately sour, some balsamic. A little sweet. Lots of complexity. Thanks for sharing this, great beer. Low carbonation, which is fine.
