Location: 12.7 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/11/14
Aroma: The nose is sweet and vinous, strong malts, dark fruit, oak, and some spice
Appearance: This one pours a rather murky dark reddish-brown color with a thick, lasting froth of beige-brown head that leaves a heck of a lot of coating and drippy lacing on the glass
Flavor: The flavor is heavy sweet and very malty, the red wine is very present here, there's no balance
Palate: The mouthfeel is rather smooth, with average carbonation, and a dry wine finish
Overall Impression: This may have been sitting in the back of the fridge for a minute, not I'm not exactly sure when I got it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't super recently. Anyway, I'm not really sure how well the red wine blends with the underlying beer, but this one felt closer to a miss to me than a hit. It was still worth trying though.
