375ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a mocha-coloured head, average stay and a nice topping over the brew, a few lacing spots left. Big chocolate nose with some vinegar notes, mild sourness and hints of cranberries. The taste shows a bit more of the sour-vinous side over the roasted-chocolate malt base with the fruit lingering in the background. A tad coffee all-around. Not a bad brew, interesting, but lacking a little finesse, balance to have the roasted malt stand out with a little warming alcohol.
