Intro: A 375ml bottle, bottled in December 2015, poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a one finger beige head that had pretty good retention and settled to a ring around the glass while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Tart, raspberry, raspberry seeds, jammy, wood, with a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Taste: Sour, tart, raspberry, oak, vinegar, with light caramel and whiskey notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Good aroma and flavours, and while the vinegar was perhaps on the edge, there was just enough sweetness to balance it out.
