So Icyyy - Black Currant Marshmallow
Barrel Culture Brewing and Blending

500ml bottle thanks to Blake . Light ruby colored pour, body and head. Sweet fruity aroma, raisins, funky yeasty notes. Taste is more of the fruity notes, but with some vanilla, burnt sugar, molasses notes, to make this come off as more of a currant turnover, A currant tart, get it?

 

 

Shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice mostly clear purple with a one finger head that fades to leave light lacing and a creamy blanket.

S - Aromas of nice lightly tart black currant, slightly sweet toasted marshmallow. There is some almost toasted oak, some nice rounded out maple.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with big creamy marshmallow, the black currant is nicely tart. Some good toasty oak, as well as nice wine notes. The maple is not that sweet but there as a a very balanced aspect.

M - Mouthfeel is aggressively carbonated, however, the finish isn't flemmy so that's nice.

O - Overall this was a very solid wild ale. Really interesting combination.

Thanks to rudzud
nice pillowy pinkish large head fades at a slower pace, nice lacing, mostly hazy cranberry chestnut color

NOse starts with loads of black currant boisenberry thing, a bit of a sweet marshmallowy thing, a little toasted buttery oak in the background, and decent maple syrup in the background, a little lactic or acetic acid, mild tartness

Taste brings more of the marshmallow and toasted maple syrup right away, plenty of it, with a little toasted oak and some sour funk, big black currant and a little sour generic berry, nice acidity a bit flemmy late, little maple glazed donut with the doughy malt, mild vinous red wine notes with the mild tart black currant, touch flemmy finish

Mouth is med bod, loads of fizzy carb, fair sour acidity and little flemmy

Overall pretty enjoyable, great combination of all flavors that seem to hit at the right amount
