Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 3rd November 2015. Deep reddish sepia with off-white decreasing foam and scant lacing. Very fruity aroma with berries and a touch of chocolate. Malty and fruity in-mouth with berries, touch of unsweet cola; sweet, fruity finish. Smooth mouthfeel and medium body. Rated as a novelty ale.
