Bottle. Pours black with no head. The aroma is strong chocolate, roast, wood, licorice. Slick body, dark fruit, licorice, chocolate, alcohol present but not overpowering, very nice.

Sample at the roost pours a clear burnt gold with some white head. Nose has lemon rind, funk, neutral barrel. A little plastic. You can tell it's new world. Flavor nears authentic but there is a residual sweetness that isn't right and doesn't even remind of Boon. Sourness and funk are both dialed back. Some bandaid but whelming at best. Finishes medium bodied, lightly creamy and the malt oddly shows up. Weird. Maybe bottle treatments are better?

Pours clear deep red with minimal white head. Aroma funky and berry. Flavour tart and a bit dry; sour grape and blackberry. Tannins from the grape skins.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a medium pink-tinged beige head. Aroma is loaded with red grapes, oak, some wild yeast, and a touch of pepper. Flavour is dry, with lots of red grapes, oak, tannins, wild yeast, a touch of black pepper, and gentle spicy phenolic notes.

750mL bottle, pours a ridiculously intense jet black / dark purple with a small purpleish pink head. Aroma is intense, with loads of intense, dry, jammy black raspberries, super dry oak, and some wild yeast. Flavour is nearly bone dry, with intensely jammy and bone dry black raspberries, plenty of oak, and a touch of wild yeast. I think it's actually a touch too dry given the fruit character, as there's clearly an absurd amount of fruit in here. Super viscous and rich, but yeah, super dry. Very good regardless of it being too dry.
