On draught at Fidelity, Dublin.
Oxblood with garnet highlights and a sandy rim; musty wood, cocoa dust, and brandy on the nose; earthy then balsamic reduction, a thread of tannins, a hit of vanilla, a tart comeback and a tart finish; clean, dry, smooth.

Recalls barrel aged Balsalmic more than cognac or sour. Goes almost chocolaty in the middle.
I don’t love it but it’s actually fun and breaks some truly new ground.
This would slay with food and in a number of non-beer settings.
Wildly successful experiment, I’d love to see Whiplash push the boat out more like this.
