Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.

Dark, reddish pour with a nice tan head. Aroma is vinegar, sour fruits, and a bit of funk. Woody, sour flavor with a bit of a cherry finish. A bit of a whiskey character. Nice carbonation, good mouthfeel.

Pours a dark reddish colour with a lasting brown head. Aroma is of cherry, raspberry and underlying acidic notes. Flavour is similar to wine with a pleasant tartness, dark fruit and sweet malt. Medium bodied with a sharp sour finish. Fantastic beer.
