The aroma is rich, wood, earth, old leather sofa, pretty fruity actually, loads of soft red berry and musty basement The taste is rich, earthy, bitter, leather, biscuit, red berry, leaves, bit of spice, chewy malt, cereal and wood with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body, soft carbonation and lightly oily mouth - feel. Good depth, especially apparent on the aroma. Enjoyable stuff.
