This one pours a dark reddish color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
This smells like bready malt, red wine, oak, leather, and a vague sweetness that might be maple.
I don't get any overt maple character here, but there is a nice light sweetness that counteracts the tartness here. There's none of the dark vinegary flavors that you often get in this style, with a nice maltiness, a dusty lemon acidity, lots of red wine barrel, and some dark fruit. I don't really know what cascara tastes like, but I guess I like it?

375 ml. bottle.
Brewed January 2020.
Bottle conditioned 'til ready.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a 1/4 inch off white head over a reddish-mahogany body with no lacing.
Floaties (maple?, cascara?) sink to the bottom of glass during and after pouring.
Head dissipates to a ring in minutes.
Nose of dark fruit, red wine; as it warms the maple syrup is slightly apparent.
Taste mirrors nose somewhat with a nice Flemish ale tartness.
Finish has red grape tannins and a hint of maple syrup sweetness.
Feel is just good as expected with the lack of head.
Overall, I liked it; some will, some won't.
Seek this out for a unique treat!
Cheers to the folks just down the road in Waterbury, VT!
