Clear red brown beer, creamy irregular beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: red fruits, sourish, cranberries, earthy, tobacco leafs, little smoky. MF: soft carbon, full body. Taste: pretty smoky, sourish, earthy, some red wine vinegar sourness, bitter hops. Aftertaste: bit sweet, red fruits, tannins, pretty smoky, caramel, dried fruits, some mocha. Enjoyable beer, but not a big fan of the smoke/sour combo.

Cloudy with lots of sediment from the bottle. Woody, tannin aroma. Flavour has lots of red wine tartness, plenty of wood and a touch of smoke. Overall too woody and sour.
