Bottle from the dregs run, cheers Craig. Pours oily black with a thin tan head. Aromas of chocolate and deep red wine, light sour notes. Taste is sharp sour, red fruit, then a roasted note at the back. Interesting.

Dark pour, not so foamy. Nose is boozy, somewhat fruity, not too sweet. Light vinegar and some chocolate cocoa. Sour taste, light wine-ish. Not too deep but still some bitterness. Dry.
