Heavy notes of caramel accented by a touch of toasted bread and cut flowers, followed by a gentle sweetness and a floral finish. Not bad.

Golden color. Mild flavor with a nice balance of lactose sweetness with vanilla. Additives are not overpowering. Mild bitterness at the finish.

Poured from a can dated 10/02/25 into an english pint glass
Pours deep cola brown bordering black with two fingers of tight tan head that settles leaving a good amount of sticky lacing.
Aroma of black coffee, sweet caramel, dark chocolate, some dark roasty malt and a bit of earthy hops
Taste follows the aroma with sweet caramel moving quickly into roasty black coffee and bitter dark chocolate leaning into some earthiness at the end.
Medium body with a bit of assertive carbonation, has a drying kind of bitter finish that plays well with the flavors leaving you ready to take another drink.
Overall a bit on the roasty, dry and bitter side but it's well crafted and complex enough that I'd come back again. Especially in the cooler months when you reach for a "leather jacket"

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy, dark orange color with a white head and great retention. Lots of streaming carbonation. As advertised, it has a light strawberry cake aroma. The flavor is similar to the aroma, except there' are less cake notes and more vanilla notes. Smooth, clean, and easy drinking. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness.

This is a bit of a let down, not that its bad, but after having the Barrique Vitis Concord twice last year, I was hoping for something like that. First, this is barely sour. Like only a hint of tart. Nose is dough, light grape juice, light grain. Looks nice with a deep purple color and faint pink-purple head that fades quickly. Lightly tart, semi-dry, and a surprising hop bitterness at finish that really doesn't mesh well with the rest of the beer. This tastes a lot like a simple american wheat with grape juice added, and the tartness comes from the grape juice rather than any fermentation characteristic. This is an overly critical review for a beer that is decent. The grape element is nice, the base beer is alright. But really, that's it, it is just the sum of its parts. Cans from Publix Oviedo FL
