From a 375ml can on 13/11/2020. Pours a large;y clear red/amber with with a small head. The nose is a bit malty, with some biscuit, along with some dark fruit and a slight sharpness at the back. Taste wise, it has some caramel, lots of sweet citrus and stone fruit, and even a hint of stewed apple, followed by big, sticky resiny hops and a hint of warming, lingering booze. The mouthfeel is syrupy, the carbonation softish. I thought the Jet Black was good, but this is propably a touch better, and certainly much better than the Rhino. A really well balanced and tasty red sipper. Would definitely happily have again.
