Cask at Wandsworth Beer Festival, March 2012. It pours deep ruby, with a thin beige head. The nose is vinous, red berry, cherry, tartness, chocolate, sweet jam and caramel. The taste is dark fruit - blackcurrant, cherry, bramble, jam, vinous notes, chocolate, caramel, roasted malt and leather, with a some dryness in the finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good, but perhaps a bit too sweet.

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Clear brown beer. residual tan head. Light dry palate. Sweeeeeet malt! Well integrated sweet candyish red fruits. Trace of toffee. Light dry finish. Bubblegum and jammy fruits aftertaste. This is a bloody sweet beer - and I have a sweet beer tooth but I could imagine this would bee too much for most!
