Keg at BBF 6, 26/09/14. Extremely dark mahogany brown with moderate khaki spotting and edgework. Nose is dark berry fruits, earthy, bitter notes, light cocoa rub, tangy berries. Taste comprises soured berry fruits, spice, straw, damp hay, toffee, earthy. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok sour but not a huge amount of depth.
