Nicer sweetness from the honey, but doesn't really have legs

On tap at Brewers Cooperative. Pours reddish purple. Aroma is lactic yoghurt, bread, bit of red fruit, not great. Flavour is raspberry, boysenberry, lots of tart cranberry. There’s some bread and yoghurt notes here too but they play nicely as the undertone to the berries. Shame the aroma isn’t as well balanced.

On tap at 16 Tun. Aroma is big coffee and chocolate. Flavour has some more restrained coffee, with lots of milk chocolate. Really nice.
