(Can) Pours very dark brown with red hints and a very small tan head. Intriguing aroma with notes of vinegar, wood, coffee, white wine. Nice mouthfeel with medium body and lively carbonation. Unusual, complex and very good taste. It’s tart, but nicely so, reminds me of white wine vinegar and under-ripe grapes. There’s some peaty smokey notes. There’s some dark chocolate hints. Interesting, unusual and very drinkable.

Can. Clear mid red with a pale pink head that's soon an island. Twiggy raspberry aroma with cracker and red wine notes. Medium bodied. Some crackery dough and sweet berries as well as firm sourness. Dries out a tad at the slightly spicy & bitter end. More presence than body - after first thinking it didn't seem like 9% ABV, after a while it does. It's pleasant enough but doesn't justify its strength.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours very dark brown with a large creamy darkish tan head. Aroma of smooth toasted malt with a touch of tart. Could be cherry. Med body or so. Flavor seems sort of tart chocolate cherry. Cocoa powder even. Dry. More tart than bitter. Nice change of pace.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours reddish/hazy with a foamy pink tinged head. Aroma of cranberries in a mildly tart way. Approaching medium body. Flavor is slightly tart cranberry, and there's something that could be a mild ginger note. Oats are distinguishable. Not too sour - more tart. Nice cranberry/ginger. Pretty dry.
