Cloudy chestnut brown with thick puffy foam that leaves chunky lace in its wake. Beautiful nose of intense raspberries (chambord, jammy notes). A touch of funky earth, bakers chocolate and some bramble along with a balsamic note before the beerbegan to warm. The taste brings beautiful sweet and sour raspberries, mexican oregano?, plum and raisin with a slight sherry rancio note and a vinous almost chateaunuef du pape character in this beer, really enjoyed its complexity and i am struggling to come up with descriptions. Very refreshing and hides its abv well with a slight sourness and good carb cleaning up for the coming sip. Well done and as usual i just wish his beers weren't so expensive.

Unknown vintage; drank 2/20/15 @ the Yarchives.

Dark purple appearance.

Tan head; nice lace.

Raspberry jam & a hint of smoke in the nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Tart raspberry flavor up front; smoke & raspberry jam on the finish. Some red wine booziness emerged as this warmed.

Complex & enjoyable, if a touch too tart for me.
