(Bottle) Cloudy dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, raisins, prunes, dark bread, brown sugar and a light vinegar acidity. Slightly vinous. Malty, fruity, slightly tart taste with caramel, dried fruit, raisins, prunes, black-currant, dark bread, roasted malt, hints of balsamic vinegar and a tart finish with a light bitterness. Almost full body, smooth mouthfeel, with a certain sweetness. Alcohol well hidden under the tartness. Quite different and very interesting. Nice one.
