8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Poured from a 510 ml bottle dated February 27, 2021. Aroma is somewhat fruity and grape forward but not particularly juicy. More of a Welch 's grape popsicle note with some must and tannins. Hints of grain and oak with light alcohol notes. Pours a nice, reddish purple with redder hues on the edges and a small, fairly thin, slightly pink head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Faint lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a light acidity and light grain notes. Medium light bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly grape forward flavor with some Welch's notes but also nice Cabernet notes, some tannins and must. Hints of berry and dark fruits. Hints of oak and musty funk. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a fun beer. Very grape forward with the beer taking a back seat. Not really acidic at all, just a bit of tannins. Some nice fermentation notes and oak character.
