Bottle from Balgove Larder. Dark brown body with a few chunks beneath a beige head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of nuts, mashed strawberry and chocolate. Flavour of rust, chocolate and vanilla. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It doesn’t look great with all the chunks, but it tastes fantastic.
