Can at SHIG place tasting, thanks to the SHIG, 16/04/23. Extremely dark mahognay brown with a beige cap that veers edgewards. Nose is dried fruit rinds, vinous, light orange peel, mellow barrel, spice. Taste comprises tarte fruit rinds, vinous, oak, brown sugar dusting, charr. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol. Another poor attempt at a BA beer ... disjointed and harsh.
