Can at home in London - picked up at a bottle shop around town. Maybe Kris Wines? Pours clear ruby-brown with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma has some earthy notes, dried berries, old leather. Light sweet flavour with notes of raisins, faint metal, more earthy character, soft roast, leathery berries. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, some burnt caramel, more dried berries and earth. Novel stuff. It all comes together pretty well.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours cloudy black with a small light tan head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, loads of umami, mushroom, Chinese cooking, marmite, earth, treacle, plum and roasted malt. The taste is dry, toasty, umami bomb, dull mushroom, roasted malt, earth, wood, leather, ashy, charred wood, hint of soy sauce and spice with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Mushroom is well integrated as more of a umami character other than specifically mushroom. Weird as hell, but sort of works. Good accompaniment to sushi I dare say.
