Creamy off white head on an unclear copper coloured body. Malt, roasted & burnt tastes. Medium bodied, smooth & thinning out to a sticky back. Malt, caramel, woody & vinous tastes with a lightly hopped bitter finish. Unusual.

Bottle shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy amber with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of light earthy hops and caramel, light red fruit and tea. Taste is weird. Jammy sweet, some sour notes, then tannins. Burnt bitterness at the end.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep amber to brown with thin lacing. Cloudy. Nose - dry crunchy bar. Taste - red fruit and plum which goes sweet then goes sour and then astringent. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy yet bitter and crunchy middle section. Tangy and astringent finish. Overall - wouldn't have another but it did slightly grow on me.
