From my stock provideth by the brethren. A gusher. Opaque brown with a ruby tinged. Foamy beige head disappears almost as quickly as it came. Aroma has sour-sweet cherry. Flavourwise it's sour. Quite tart. Gets woody. Underlying espresso. Light. Thin. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. More like a dark sour than a mild TBH.
