Big Pot

This Wild Specialty Beer presents a luscious sensory interpretation of a blueberry pie topped with blackberries and vanilla cream. The experience begins with an intense bouquet of jammy forest fruits and a distinct buttery pastry crust aroma. On the palate, the sharp tartness of the wild fermentation provides a necessary counterpoint to the rich, dessert-like sweetness of the blueberry and blackberry. Nuances of vanilla evoke the "a la mode" character, while the deep purple hue and opaque body reinforce its jam-heavy profile. It concludes with a pleasant, lingering fruit acidity and a smooth, rounded finish that captures the essence of a decadent American dessert.

Appearance. Deep, opaque purple to midnight magenta with a dense, short-lived pinkish-violet head; significant lacing from the heavy fruit concentration.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of cooked blueberries and fresh blackberries are layered over a biscuity, graham-cracker malt base with subtle vanilla and a clean, lactic tang from the wild fermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart berry juice followed by a rich, jammy sweetness; flavors of blueberry pie filling and blackberry compote predominate over a subtle bready malt backbone, ending with a lingering, sweet-tart fruit finish and minimal bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, coating texture; moderate carbonation provides enough lift to prevent the fruit weight from becoming cloying; very light alcohol warmth at 6.5% ABV.
