On tap at Honey Moon, pours a hazy pinkish amber, almost no head. Aroma brings out lots of jammy black currant upfront, with a touch of acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart black currant with a nice jamminess. Simple stuff, but it's decent.

Bottle at Honey Moon, pours a clear pale amber, no head. Aroma is very port-like, with lots of dark berries, some pith and red wine. Flavour is bone dry and super vinous, with tons of wood, dark vinous notes, bitterness and alcohol. Very boozy and harsh. It's fun in one respect, but it another, it's harsh as hell. Intense.

The raspberry is nice, but with a hint of vinous character...muscular mead. The fruit lends a nice balance, though.
