Nose has nice sour notes and oak from the barrel aging. Slight smoke smell. The interplay of the chocolate and white wine is interesting, but not a perfect marriage. Great champagne-like carbonation and lacing. Sour lingers on the palette on this one. ericandersnavy (1141), crossroads, Texas, USA

pours a pale ruby shade of coffee brown with a light brown head and lots of splotchy lacing.
aromas of scalded cream, roasty grain, lightly toasted wood, earth, something savory, vinous/red wine, spice and vanilla.
flavors of chocolate, charcoal, that same savory note which i can assume is yeast?, rich red wine and earthy smoke. there is a definite tannic thing happening which draws in the cheeks before an aftertaste of coffee. .
it is medium bodied with a pleasant acidity/mf. 8/3/8/3/16.5/3.85 Cavie (1515), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Dark rouge pour. Highly carbonated. Dark scents and roasted elements mixed with hints of bacon. Very tingly on the tongue. Dark bitter taste like that of a roasted coffee. Decent porter, that would pair well with bacon.
