On the nose, ripe, figgy raspberry preserves, seeds and all. Raisin notes, sweet red grape, like mincemeat-pie filling. Pleasant, cranberry-like sourness. A craisin-like sweetness helps keep balance and interest. Juicy, with a caramelized dark-fruit stripe that adds depth. Finish is fizzy and Champagne-like. Fun beer.
