Draught at Matilda Bay Brewery, Port Melbourne, Melbourne, on July 31, 2013.Also said "AC3 India Red Ale".Clear copper to brown color, tan head. Sweet, bitter, herbal, resin taste. Resin aftertaste. Medium to fizzy mouthfeel, medium mbitterness. Warming alcohol. Sweet, malty, alcohol scent.Didn’t get any smoked notes, though didn’t look for it either.

Pours copper with a large, lasting head.Nose shows lots of sweet darker malt. Bready and toasty notes with big melanoidin sweetness.Different flavours, a lot less sweet, although some of the bready malt remains. Some earthy hops present themselves followed by an assertive but balanced bitterness.Too much carbonation.

Bottle, 11C. Clear reddish amber with a cream head. Aroma of toffee, raisins, orange zest, white pepper, a whiff of smoke. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Sweet, but perhaps not as sweet as suggested by the aroma with singed toffee and some dried fruit. A bit empty where it might have been rich. The citrus gets lost. Firm bitterness. Slightly peppery and smoky at the end. Didn’t do much for me.
