Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation.

500 mL bottle from the brewery, marked 2016. Pours a deep, nearly black red-brown with a light tan head. Acidic red grape, plum aroma. Flavor is sour red grape, raisin, with cocoa, oak, occasional hints of roasty coffee. Quite a good one.

On tap at Vivant. Pours black with an off-white or light tan head. Tart raisin aroma. Flavors of raisin, molasses, roastiness, with oakiness and a tart berry edge to it. Tasty.
