mahogany color with nice red hues. Light brown head. Very dry nose with Christmas cake, black berries, stewed oranges and cola. Low carbonation, medium full body, malty, slight tartness but barrel character doesn’t show tremendously. Great depth of Christmas cake, blackberries, dry with voyager malt really shining. Alcohol very well hidden 8%.

'Bottle. Deep brown with a beige head that''s soon a wisp at the rim. Aroma of toffee, bread, wine vinegar, light spices, twigs. Not a lot of body, lowish carbonation. Sour with both lemon and wine vinegar, some bun dough, hedgerow berries. A little note of boot polish at the end. A pleasant sour brown beer but I wonder whether it''s quite as intended.'
