Intro: A 375ml bottle, bottled in January 2016, poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: Dark dark brown to black in colour with a half finger beige head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass, while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Tart, dark berries, a touch vinous, wood, and light notes of chocolate and whiskey.
Taste: Sour, tart, dark berries, light roast, chocolate, caramel, oak, vinegar, along with a splash of whiskey.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Possibly because of the age, while there wasn’t any obvious blueberry notes, there was a mix of dark berries that worked pretty well. Lost in my cellar, it would have been great to have tried this much earlier.
