500ml bottle. Pours deep purple red. Blackcurrant, earth, tobacco, leather, sour cherry, liquorice, strong pinot noir, bit of pepper. Medium body. It just tastes like an extra earthy pinot noir, any beer seems to have gotten lost. This is the first disappointment I've had in a lot of beers from Craftwork, but it's a pretty big disappointment given the cost.
