Bottle from the Northumberland Beer Box. Grainy aroma with sour berries and hints of coffee. Opaque dark chestnut. Creamy translucent off-white head. Light-medium bitter with a sour edge that gradually dominates. Some sweetness on the periphery. Rich malts and dark berries. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent. Good stuff.
