Draft at Churchkey. Poured a dark brown color with a small light-tan head. Aroma was dark chocolates, some light barrel and a touch of vinous red wine. Flavor was nice lightly roasted malts, some woody red wine character. Enjoyable.

Keg at Olivet Twist, Stockholm. Near black, no head. Licorice aroma with some red wine. Mid dry with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Coffee and licorice with some red wine, mid bitter finish. Good components, but strange marriage.

Draft from BrewDog Shepherd’s Bush opening night on 29 November 2013. Poured black with a medium, dense tan head and good lacing. Aroma of roast malt, black cherry, liquorice. Mouth feel was medium. Some sharp bitterness in the initial flavour, with some dark malt, some coffee, but overall lighter than perhaps expected. Finish was also quite light with some oak, espresso and a little grassy hop. Nice, but I prefer the original.

Tap at Brewdog Camden. Poured a dark mahogany with a thin white head. The aroma is roasted malt with lots of light sour vinous notes. The flavour is moderate sour weak bitter with a complex malt sour wine oak palate and a short bitter vinous finish. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Keg at Brewdog Shepard’s Bush opening night. Aroma is really nice light choc and tart raspberry light funk. Opaque black caramel pour with a steadfast light tan head. Flavour is choc, tart raspberry, grape skin tanin . lingering choc touch of roast. . palate is light and crisp carbonic acid bite. Tasty beer with layers of depth.

Tap @ North Bar, Leeds 011112
Black with ruby edges, gushing from tap, tan head
Aroma - soft roasted malts, some bitterish red fruits, some old wood, the wine aging is noticeable
Taste - mellow roast malts, touch of red fruits, background of bitter hops, getting the red wine, touch of tannins, bit woody, well balanced
Palate - medium carb, medium body. Finish as main flavour with a nice quite complex mellow roasted with a slight tannic bit sour fruit
Overall - This was very good out of the keg as it wasn’t too fizzy, interesting beer
