Bottle from Beermoth, Manchester. Reddish brown pour with a light beige head. Aromas of red wine, strawberry jam, apple strudle, plum pudding, light funk (HEYYY!). Flavours are very similar with a nice backbone of dried fruit. Rich warming finish.

Bottle shared thanks to RandomStrangerNL. Hazy dark amber with off white head. Tart red berries, over ripe peaches and plums, funk, vanilla, lots of yoghurt, earthy notes, rotten wood, booze, sherry. Under medium sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and slick feel. Bit boozy but OK.
