Black and Blue
High Water Brewing

 

 

Had this at the Bistro's Barrel Aged 2018 festival. Kind of a pinkish red color, partially due to the berries, partially due to the red wine barrel, small off white head, 1/5" deep. A little aroma splash of blackberry (without the feet smell that is there with blackberries sometimes) and blueberry, just a general berry sensation with a tiny bit of that wet red wine barrel.

Taste is an average sour power 5 on the 10pt scale, average amount of berries, the barrel effect starts to help out with drying it all out in the mouthfeel. Isn't overly acidic. The fruit flavor isn't really blackberry or blueberry, moreso just a "berry" thing like a grand cru almost of multiples. Its a fun beer, but I don't know that I would cough up the $1/oz price tag for a bottle, glad I got to try it in a festival setting.
