Bottled. Hazy deep ambery brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is sour wooden, fruity, mild dark berries, some ashes as well as some mild liquorice. Flavour is dark berries, fruits, some tart coffeeish notes as well as some mild roasted and ashy notes. Quite mouthdrying. Could be slightly oxodized due to some of the slight sourness in it.

Bottle: Extremely dark amber coloured, small but lacing tanned head; estery-fruity nose with traces of roasted malt and with a little acidity; sourish-bitter flavour, light bodied; acidity also detectable in the short bitter-roast-malty finish. Possibly infected, but still drinkable..........

Bottle conditioned, 500 ml, bought at Memorable Cheeses, Ipswich. Batch No. 040510atpp. Pours with next to none head, beer is totally flat with no carbonation whatsoever. Very dark reddish brown colour. Nice aroma of roasted malts, coffee and leather. Flavour is lightly roasted malts and lemons. Acidic and thin mouthfeel. Unremarkable aftertaste. Drinkable, but disappointing.
