750 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Deep reddish brown body. Nice white head.
Smell - Malty aroma. Musty red wine aroma. A little bit of cherry. Oak.
Taste - Lots of dark fruit. Oak is strong. Cherry. Red wine sourness. Musty finish. A little bit of that whiskey flavor back there.
Mouthfeel - High carbonation. Not all that sour. Medium body, but carbonation makes it seem lighter.
Overall - I wasn't enthused at first, but it improved as I drank it.

La Folie on steroids. Incredible balance and complexity with great oak and vanilla notes.
