4.25/5  rDev 0%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Arrives with a garnet-influenced copper color; somewhat cloudy with a nice head that leaves sheets of lacing

Smell: Quite vinous, with a strong red wine grape character

Taste: The red wine flavors are bold (this was aged in a Mourvèdre barrel, after all) and dominate the front, which also brings a grape jam character; by mid-palate, the oak adds its influence, along with a developing tart and slightly funky character; the finish brings in some raspberry tones, adding a sweet dimension

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A really interesting beer; the best example of a red wine barrel treatment that I have had since I tried the Westbrook series a few years ago
