Allagash Victor Francenstein

From Allagash – 2008 Victor aged in a cask w/ bugs and 2009 Cabernet Franc grapes.

Allagash Brewing – Allagash Victor Francenstein – 375 ml bottled poured into a goblet. 9.7% abv. From the bottle release from a very special woman that I love dearly.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy pink tinted auburn with a swirly white film for head.

Aroma: Big wine barrel, cork, funky funked out yeast.

Taste: Sour grape, oak barrel, cork, red wine vinegar. Finishes with some sweet grape notes once your mouth gets past the sourness.

Mouthfeel: Tannic, puckering, low carbonation.

Overall: Complex, not super sour, but very sharp and pronounced.
