Very dark brown with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have tonnes of Port and booze soaked raisins. There's a slight funk and tartness. Also syrupy pineapple juice.

Clear blond appearance with thin head. Aroma and flavour have sweet green grapes, subtle oak and vanilla. Has gentle hit of sharpness and Brett. Quick and clean (too clean) finish. Good but dial up the funk please.
