A deeply murky reddish brown pours to the glass and obscures light almost completely. A two and a half finger head is a light mocha color and really sticks around.

Overwhelming. There's a ton of "barnyard" here and it's really hard to get past. There's a strong vinous taste following this with almost no sweetness present. This scent is decent but it's a bit too much.

Lots of wine like tartness up front followed extremely quickly by a strong dirt and hay flavor. The wild here is overwhelming all the other flavors. I still pick up some dark fruit flavors on the end but there's no sign of raspberries here and I'm let down.

Thick and sticking.

A bit too strong on the wild notes and too hodgepodge for me to really enjoy. She's a trainwreck.

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.
