UPDATED: AUG 30, 2022 Bottle (500ml). This is a lovely wine barrel aged beer for some special occasion. I highly recommend it, but can not personally call this a regular purchase because of price.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2022 bottle c&c. Pours a lovely reddish brown color with a small white head that quickly fizzes away. The aroma is strong with brett and claret wines. The taste is over-the-top tart wine grapes, sour cherries and oak. The palate is full and oily. Finishes long with lingering tart wines Overall: decent- paired well with some reggiano

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2022 (375ml Jan 2019 bottle c/o my girl Phyllomedusa, from somewhere in Portland) Pours nearly clear pale mahogany with a thin tan head and tiny lace. Aroma of candied orange peel, raisinated berries, sweet red apples, cherries, red wine, fairly heavy oak, tobacco, caramel and lightly toasty malt, just a dash of vinegar. Flavour is surprisingly sweet and fruity, orange, cherries, touch of apple, raisinated berries again, red wine, smooth lactic acid, touch of malt vinegar, lots of barrel, leathery funk, a little tobacco. finish is quite dry with a tart backbone, dried cherries and oak, mineral with herbal accents and lots of wine barrel in the aftertaste. Medium-bodied, oily, soft bottle condition carbonation. Lovely stuff really, in a style I rarely drink now. Acidity is balanced and well-contained with the barrel, malt and dried grapes ('currants') creating a vinous and complex sour.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2021 Amber with thin head. Fruity aroma and pleasantly tart. Not as heavy as I was expecting.

UPDATED: SEP 25, 2021 Hazy light brown small white head. Aroma is fruity berries, bubblegum, woody, and funky. Taste is light/medium sweet, medium sour, and medium bitter.
