Pours very dark brown with a fading head.Nose shows funky brett, red wine, redcurrants and little else. Nice though.Flavours are a little more geared towards a BSDA with some soft chocolate and roasted malt before the funk and booze rolls through.Body feels watery.A bit of a mishmash of flavours, can’t quite get my head around this one.

Bottle, 13C. Very dark but clear brown with a coat of beige head that retreats to the rim. Aroma of stewed and dried fruits, brett, treacle, cinnamon, peppery shiraz. Taste is sweet with black licorice, raisins, prunes. A little funky, but the brett is less obvious than in the aroma. Some citrus flavours as the bitterness emerges. Woody and vinous at the end as well as tangy and bitter. Interesting and clearly not thrown together, but at least for now just doesn’t quite come together as a whole.
