330ml bottle from Aldi. Clear but very dark red beer, decent head quickly disappears and becomes thin and filmy. Smells of malt, tangy fruit and honey. The flavour is exactly what you'd expect from that, though the malt is less earthy than I thought it would be from the smell of it. It does linger a bit into the aftertaste along with some sharp fruit. The honey gives this a nice, smooth taste but it's a bit watery which undercuts it slightly. Not bad though.

Bottle at Craig’s. It pours clear deep red-brown with a small white head. The nose is earthy, toasted grain, slight sweetness and some fruit cake. The taste is soft, sweet, chewy, fruit cake, brown bread, honey, mild sweetens and a touch of acidity. Light – medium body and fine carbonation. Not a whole lot of depth to it and it feels a touch thin. Run of the mill.
