The aromas are slightly more resin than citrus hops and not super fresh. Flavors are somewhat similar and somewhat better than aromas with a little orange coming through and a nice mix of bitter to sweet. Good body, carbonation and bittersweet finish.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of tannic red wine barrels, followed by moderate roast and wood. Flavour is loaded with wood and red wine barrels upfront, followed by medium roast and more tannic notes. Woody, vinous and tannic. Excellent.

Pretty much exactly as the label describes. Good balance throughout as well as good drinking. Slightly medicinal in the finish.
