Almost brown red. Caramel and grapefruit nose. Sticky mouth. Boozy, barley wine like. Luscious.

From a 375ml can on 16/6/2019. Pours a super deep dark red with a smallish head, but could easily be mistaken for a stout. The nose is much like the double - lots a caramel and toffee malt aroma with stewed fruit, but it's perhaps a touch more intense. It's pretty much the same with the taste - caramel, toffee, brown sugar, dark and dried fruit, some citrus and stone fruit, with big piney, resiny and slightly spicy hops at the back. But just a bit bigger and more intense, with a dash of warming booze in the background. The palate is thick, quite syrupy and full bodied, the carbonation moderate. Not a beer for the faint hearted, but a really complex and very rewarding big sipper. All versions of the Six String Dark Red are excellent.
