500ml bottle from The Shops At Dartington. Pours a red/brown clear lifeless liquid with no head. Aromas & tastes of red fruits, caramel, vinegar & malt. Moderate body. Sour vinegar fruity finish. Verging on undrinkable, very disappointing & 2 of 2 bottles so far, I've opened that have been lifeless, so an issue with the conditioning
