Fat Orange Cat Cautionary Tail Pumpkin Ale. North Haven, CT

Brown and flinty orange body has a coffee with cream head that loosely rises. Drawn and quartered lacing has bubble eyed ghosts and barn owl faces in an appropriate nod. Warm and cozy comfort spices rise from sweet potatoes, maple syrup, brown sugar and butter cauldrons, while spider eyes blink and pop on a wisp of fog as stringy as Spanish moss. The head is gone like the last gasp of an autumn tree, and the gourd ascends. Cinnamon sticks and nutmeg creak in the vestiges of twilight. Only darkness now. Roasted pecan, burnt brown sugar, toffee and treacle, crowned by a full moon scoop of vanilla cream.

Solid stuff. Dusty dirt, dark red fruit, currant, black pepper, tree bark. Still dusty tannins. Acidity passes quickly. Palate is ditto. — 4 years ago

2019 NV. Super interesting stuff. Finesse and complexity of well made traditional method but completely distinct in style. Traditional citrus is mixed with slightly oxidative honey and tree sap, with a grippy, refreshing phenolic touch and an orange bitters complexity on the palate. Autolytic profile is not front and center, supports the forest-like freshness. Dosage is zero but you wouldn’t guess it, it’s in balance, not just trendy — 2 years ago

Smells of plums, ripe and on the tree..

Gorgeous red and purple fruits here, lots of co mingling like it’s a cornucopia of a soirée.
Interesting that I could find this vintage just hanging around a wine shop, so thrilled when the flavors matched exactly what I wanted.
Very light acidity left, medium oak, yet now more of a memory.
Salute ! — 4 years ago

I got this bargain Bandol, made by a co-op of growers, from Last Bottle for a song, and it’s surprisingly good. 95% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignane. Nose is densely fruity, with freshly-crushed blackberry and other unidentifiable (to me) berries, with a pleasant slight vegetal note, along with some sweet spice and warm gravel. Loads of dark fruit in the mouth, along with some tree-barkey, leathery notes. The initial mouthfeel is soft and dense, and quite fruity, but the tannins progress into the finish, which shows some dark minerality and a slight bitter component (not unpleasant). For a slightly rustic and gutsy weeknight red, this is a great choice. — 2 years ago
