Compared to the non BA version, this has a bit less cinnamon, more tartness but still balanced, less caramel malt and the lavender seems a little more hidden

Dark reddish orange, a finger of foam that fades to a skim and spare lacing.
Aromas of lavender, oak, and mild vinous acidity that billow up with a swirl.
Puckering sour fruit and oak, juicy berry and light sweet lavender accents.
Medium bodied with a bright acidity and moderate sourness. Effervescent.
Light aftertaste of berries, lavender, and oak as the sourness fades.
Really nice, if anything it could use some barrel funk, but that’s nitpicking.
