14.0%abv. Spiced meat, I guess that's peppercorn, but other savory notes too for sure. Brambly red fruit, or maybe unripe blackberry in nose. Herbal... Eucalyptus? No/low sweetness, perception is dry but cooked and full body. Med- tannins. Med acidity.

Easy on the nose and up front. Lots of fruit flavors on the back end. A bit quirky... But fun!
