Deep brown with a red chink. Foamy off white head. Dried fruit possibly prune. Salty and woody. Still oxidised and floorboards. Another one where that unwelcome wild yeast is overcome by the intended yeast.

This one again was like a corked wine. This overpowers the chocolate and general dried fruit. Not great.
