Pour at Stillwell Freehouse. Pours cloudy deep ruby. Aroma has barnyard funk, raspberry, leather, hay, red wine grape. Flavour is fairly dry and tart; notes of raspberry, raspberry, dry grass, plenty of tannins. Oaky and tannic dryness on the finish. Red wine notes might be a smidge too strong, but otherwise fantastic.

(750ml bottle shared by Herbalist, thanks!) Pours lightly hazed medium red with a small pink-white ring and no lace. Aroma is bright red fruit, quite some raspberry with a little strawberry candy and sweet cherry, very soft acidity, just a suggestion of leathery Brett and barrel lurking behind. Flavour is much drier than the nose would suggest, fresh raspberry and red grape skins, maybe a little cherry candy in there too, good presence of oak and Brett giving a leathery quality, very light acidity, cereals poking through in the middle of the sip, finish is bone dry and quite mineral with grippy red wine tannins, oak, light phenolic pepper maybe, long bitter aftertaste. Fairly light body, fairly effervescent carbonation. Very different in character to the typical Burdock grape ale due to the limited wine input, much more of a beer than a hybrid, dry and refreshing but missing the pop of their best for me.
