Bottle, via the brewery online shop. Opened this two nights ago, and couldn’t get on with it at all. It was 90% TCP and nearly got tipped away. Stuck a stopper in it and left it. Now it’s a whole different beer. Missus still thinks it’s absolutely awful though! Anyhoo. Sits copper red with no head. Looks like a blush wine. Nose has sweet grape. Grape stalks. Bit of well ripe raspberry. Touch of the barrel. Just a hint of something papery or cardboard like in the background. Taste is sweet and fairly juicy, with a light tartness. A bit of a flabby mouthfeel, with fine carbonation. Could benefit from being sharper really. Then the finish is a bit weird too. Like a damp carpet vibe going on. Odd beer this. Enjoyable with periods of oof...

Bottle from the brewery. Appearance - hazy amber. Nose - woody, funky and red fruit, possibly strawberry. Taste - light balsamic with the green grape coming through later. Palate - light bodied, long persistent finish. Overall - very nice.
