Dark brown. Aroma is cherry ice cream, dark chocolate, some wood, strawberry as well, lacto maybe. Taste is a little sour cherry, somehow dusty, some red wine fruitiness. Still a bit off. Interesting but doesn't turn my knobs.

Green bottle. Dark brown, ancient looking head. Sour musty basement smell. Spicy old cherry-or-wine flavor, this tastes like a beer that has been sitting in Pop-pop's Keller for 30 years. Really interesting but I could see many people not liking this. I could definitely drink a half bottle of it.

Bottle, many thanks to Fin & Loz! Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is dry wood, almost dusty, nutty, light booze, moldy cellar. Taste is lightly fruity, with a sour edge, chocolate, moldy cellar. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Very British, very old school, very decent!

Cask at the Bootlegger, 18/05/18. Rich mahogany brown with a decent light tan. Nose is coffee grinds, dark malts, toffee, light roast, chocolate. Taste carries a good coffee bean profile, light black peppery spice, cacao nibs, dried fruits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close. Solid flavoursome cask coffee affair ... good depth of flavour for the relatively low ABV.
