A: pours a dark red and is topped by an off white head. There is some spotty lacing around the glass as well.
S: the smell is heavy raspberries as well as some woody notes. I can't detect a lot of specialty malt as well as alcohol. Therefore, it's fairly one dimensional to me.
T: a lot of tart raspberries; almost wine-esque. There is also a lot of malty sweetness that brings the tartness down.
M: Full bodied, dry, and silky.
O: a wonderful beer; my first from mikkeller.

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.
