Bottle at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. I would classify this a s a Scottish Ale, but obviously Ian thinks he knows better..... It pours deep amber, with a thin white head. The nose chocolate, dark fruit and vinegar. The taste is tangy dark fruit, malt vinegar, raisin, currant, cherry, sherry, sweet-sour aspect and chocolate, with a dry-roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Yes the tanginess suggests it’s infected, but it doesn’t taste all that bad to me.

Bottle at Chriso’s Easter tasting 2012. It pours deep amber, with a massive beige head. The nose is caramel, toffee, hint of dark fruit, toast and hay. The taste is caramel, toasted malt, dark fruit, metal, 2 pence piece (Lorna’s suggestion), blood, iron. Medium body and high carbonation. Some odd flavours, but not bad.
