Keg at BD SB. It pours clear deep ruby red with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, toasty, wood, earth, umami, liquorice and soft sweetness. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, vinous, earthy, wood, tangy, faint smoke, tangy, berry, cherry stone and umami with a drying and sort of smoked finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit unbalanced. Interesting anyhow.

Keg at Brewdog Shepherds Bush on launch day. Pours dark mahogany brown with a thin white head. Aroma is cherry, malt and a little smoke. Taste is a little smoke that gets a big sour cherry hit over the top which is really drying but the smoke remains. Not bad.
