Bottled 2/23, from the source.
Deep reddish pink with a pink head, like all the Serines are. The nose is compelling. Definitely distinct from both, the regular and the Grand Reserve variant, with a noticeably more tannic base and grape expression. Rich oak, quite vinous, leather, earth and a notable grape skin tannin. The beer is rather, for lack of a better word, feral, with a robust oak and grape expression. A hint of preserved lemon adds a wisp of brightness.
The palate opens earthy, broody, tannic with layers of oak and grape skin tannins. In fact, the tannin character has a rawness that almost calls to mind grape stems as well. This is so big and burly that it really is more wine than beer.
Aerating the beer brings out more subtle floral notes, along with a little jam and the fruit - notes of blackberry, blueberry, tobacco. While the tannins are just as feral on the palate, the complexity lent by the fruit enhances drinkability. Tannic, burly on the finish. Lovely stuff.
