On tap at Black Lab, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma is intense and rather harsh, with red wine barrels, nail polish remover, and some residual cocoa. Flavour is more friendly on the palate, with lots of red fruits, light vanilla, and heaps of red wine. There's still lots of residual sweetness, finishing with tannins and red fruits. Fun beer, but it is somewhat harsh and unrefined.
