A barrel-aged wild ale refermented with Marion blackberries, bottled at 5.9% ABV in a 500ml bottle. It begins as a mature oak-aged sour red ale, then is refermented with Oregon-grown Marion blackberries at six pounds per gallon. The refermentation uses souring bacteria, Brettanomyces, farmhouse yeast and wild yeast, driving the beer to complete attenuation. It is released unfiltered, unpasteurised and bottle-conditioned. The aroma brings deep blackberry fruit, oak and layered Brett character. The palate is tart and berry-forward, with musty leather, dough-like flour and horse blanket balanced by mild acidity. The finish is crisp, lightly puckering and persistently funky, with lingering smoky notes.
