Can from Westhill Service Station (I think). It pours clear deep red - brown with a thick, pillowy white head. The aroma is fragrant, warming spice, clove, cola cubes, slightly metallic, nutty, almond biscotti, pear drops, melon and fruit crumble. The taste is firmly dry, some bitterness, slightly medicinal, herbal, damp grass, spice, dry oak, earthy, clove, nutmeg, dried fruits, fruit cake, pear, melon, leather, tannin, metallic vibes and boozey alcohol boost through the finish. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Commands attention for sure. Pretty punchy stuff overall.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Mid-brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Sumptuous aroma of cherries, white pepper, cola, dried grass, light funk. Sweet taste, lots of spice, some almost souring woody notes. Fairly thick body, tannic, low to medium carbonation. Great stuff, a bit odd but all the better for it.
