Bottle from Denbies Farm Shop, Dorking. Aroma of rich honey with vinous streak and a touch of veg. Amber. No head. Very sweet immediate impact. Vinous tinged sourness then comes through. As does a boozy warmth and a vague bitterness into the finish. But the sweetness is consistent. Light-medium bodied. Oily. Sticky. Average carbonation. Long warm slightly astringent finish. I was thinking of hitting the sack but this had really perked me up.
