Bottle at home ... Thanks to Fin (i think) for this one ... Wonderfully Ruby colour.... you really cant fault the apperence of this one ...fruity malt nose ... OH ! ... this is beyond anything i expected ... i was expecting ron of the mill ... but this is bursting with full on interesting flavours ... lots of berry fruits ... little sweetness ... little toffee malts ... All round a decent beer, and a real pleasent suprise for a beer that i chose mid night that i expected to be mediocre before finnishing on better beers.
