Keg at the Anderson, Fortrose. It pours deep amber, with a thin white head. The nose is wood, rye, sweet orange, prune, date and raisin. The taste is rye, spice, brown bread, underlying caramel, nut, raisin, grape, resin, some alcohol warmth and citrus notes, with a deliciously bitter finish. Medium body, fine carbonation and well balanced. The world of pain that was involved in making this was worth it!
