Rich mahogany color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate, cola and tea throughout with floral notes of rose and jasmine from the Brettanomyces. Medium acidity balances well with a dry and slightly malty finish.

40% Propitiation – Aged 15 months in Petite Sirah barrels with Brett Brux and bacteria
39% Salvation – Aged 12 months in Syrah barrels with a mixed Brett strain

Appearance: Pours clear and cola colored with a one finger ecru head; webby lacing lingers as the head fades
Smell: Complex aromatics with oaky red wine grape elements dominating along with unsweetened chocolate, tobacco and barnyard funk as well a hint of floral tones
Taste: Funky Brett flavors forward with the oaky red wine merging; subtle floral tones along with unsweetened chocolate and tabacco arrive, underneath; the finish is dry and oaky with the Brett and red wine grape elements supporting
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; slight pucker factor
Overall: Another fascinating beer from Vinnie; I am really enjoying my tour of the recent Cellar Society releases
