Carolina Cobbler - Mixed Berry
Divine Barrel Brewing

This was another beer that I ordered on Tavour not too long ago, as I never heard of or had anything from Divine Barrel before. Loved this beer's description and indeed, this was something I'd easily reach for again as it was quite tasty and certainly unique!

Such a gorgeous, berry hue to this as it was topped off with a thin and full head that wasn't long-lasting, and left behind zero lacing. Nearly every berry was in the nose along with a persistent graham cracker and pie crust presence that only made me want to quaff this down - which I ended up nearly doing. More fruit patch than tart by a mile, this was really juicy and sweet with a sticky undertone to it that came out a bit more in the lip-smacking aftertaste. Plenty lively on the palate as the carbonation was moderate, but in line with everything else going on here!

No hint of booze at all as I could have easily downed another after finishing this off, as the blackberry and strawberry that stuck around was as inviting as could be. Canned on 10/5, this had very little cinnamon and lactose compared to the fruit flavors. A bit more might have enhanced this but as it was, this was a delicious and enjoyable beer that will have me on the lookout for their other offerings on Tavour!

Ordered from Tavour, chilled and poured into an imperial pint glass.

Look: strawberry red, cloudy-ish, off white/pinkish head that dissipated quickly leaving a ring that provided a nice white lacing that didn't hang to the glass.
Smell: smells of candied fruit, strawberry, raspberry and other berry notes that are difficult to pick out (they describe blackberry and blueberry). Faint earthy under notes that are probably the other fruits. Some graham cracker notes that dominate with the strawberry.
Taste: taste follows the smell, Berliner Weisse up front, strawberry and raspberry, vanilla, followed by graham cracker, some faint earthy berry and some trailing vanilla. The flavor dies quickly leaving a sweet malty, graham cracker aftertaste. Not super sour, no bitter and for a 6% ABV no booze.
Feel: light feel with a nice lingering moderate tickle of carbonation that hung well as it warmed.

This was exactly as advertised. A refreshing Berliner with a wonderful smell of strawberry and raspberry, the graham cracker is a nice addition making it a cobbler for sure. This would be a great cool refreshing beer on a warm summer day!

Cheers everyone!
