3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A: The pour is a clear burnt orange color with essentially no head and very little (if any) carbonation.
S: The nose provides a nice lactic tartness and a musty funk which I almost always find enjoyable. There is a slight fruit (grapes) component to the nose, which likely comes from the wine barrel.
T: Unfortunately, the fruitiness doesn’t quite translate to the palate here. The acidity is still there, both lactic and even a mild acetic quality provide some tartness, but nothing overwhelming. There is a mild funk and some notes of oak as well.
M: The pour is very lightly carbonated (though admittedly not the intent), but I think it works well and makes the beer more "traditional". As a result, a nice slick feel on the tongue.
D: The acidity is moderate enough to make this easy to drink. I found this to be really pleasant and I look forward to all the other sour/barrel aged offerings Bootlegger’s has.
