Sour, woody, caramel, wood, wine, brandy, estery, raisins and dry fruits, wow.
Medium bodied, surprisingly low for its ABV, high carbonation, very quaffable. Alcohol very hidden.
A delicious wild ale, rich of fermentation flavours and barrel additions. Excellent.
OldMrCrow (3173) - Seattle, Washington, USA - JUN 20, 2021UPDATED: JUN 20, 2021 Damn, this is one big beer.
Super rich, extremely complex, tart but not overwhelmingly so. The aroma reminds me of something exotic and rare and amazing at the Hair of the Dog; the flavor is more tart but delicious all the way through. Other than the flavor intensity, no hint of the ABV. Fascinating to try though I don't know how readily I'd do a whole 750 by myself. Actually probably pretty easily, tbh.

Aromas of grape, oak, vanilla, brandy, lightly vinous, light funky, with a touch of citrus zest. Tastes sour, tart, oak, dried apricot, stone fruit, hay, honey, with light brandy and orange citrus notes. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, enjoyable complex aroma and flavours. A good sipper.
