Fig color in the glass, small head. Smells like prune juice or fig (description says dates..so close) flavor has a lot of vanilla with prune juice, clove, cinnamon, pepper. Lot of vinegar at the finish

Refrigerated 0.5 L brown bottle corked and capped. Translucent medium brown with medium/small beige head. Aroma is tart fruit, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tart, blackberries, dates, wood and some bourbon. Nice one.

Keg at Bottle Shop. It pours deep ruby reddish with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, musty, tart, dried fruits, fruit cake, tangy berry, oak, vanilla, sweaty and fruit compote. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright acidity kick, earthy, musty, blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, jam, oak, earth and a touch of alcohol with tangy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Hides the Abv well hidden. Not bad at all, perhaps could have more depth.
