A big french bottle, with a cork held down with a massive metal staple. Pretty cool.
I was expecting something kind of dark given the alc content at 8.5% but this pours light and translucent like wine. A light head stretches across the slight malt aroma. The alcohol is really well disguised under fruit, spice, wine notes. Very different.
I've not really drank anything like this before and I feel the only reason this is only getting 7.5 is because I'm not familiar with this style at all. But there it is, until there's more time to investigate. 7.5
Tested again.. it's really quite alcy this, hits you pretty hard throughout. Lovely snowy head on it though and a classy sort of drop when paired with the right foods. Comfortable with 7.0 - 7.5 for now.
