Bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a decent off white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, resin, wood, toffee, blood orange, marmalade and brown bread. The taste is dry upfront, bitter - sweet character, sappy wood, resin, leather, pithy, zesty, orange marmalade, leafy, slightly dusty, brown bread and a touch of tannin with a drying, zesty finale. Average body and moderate carbonation. A decent red by all accounts.
