Bottle from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep mahogany to black. Beige head. Nose - pine, light smoke and molasses.. Taste - more smoke, tar and molasses, pine and citrus. Palate - light to medium bodied, roasty and set finish. Overall - this is a hopped stout or a black IPA, ko resemblance to a red ale at all.
