The word for the night is "snifter", and I don't mean what Red did on his last date, I'm talking about the glass. We've had 2 beers tonight in snifter glasses. Red & Red color is cherry red in the snifters, with a flat head. We did notice that since we are tasting in the snifters that that may affect the head, there are some small bubble trails at the very tops of the creases. Nose is next to sweet naught. Made with coriander and orange peel as a Belgian wit this beer was a shock. Blended with Pinot Noir juice (like the wine) and aged in the same barrels (11%) at a fraction and blended with plain oak barrels (89%). 10%abv, its a nice brew but not one of my faves.
