Black with a red hue. Small off-white head. Roast malt dominates the aroma which also has some fruit and molasses. Dry, burned charcoal flavour. Could do with a bigger body.

Bottled. Hazy golden with no head. Grass, hay and a hint of malt in the aroma. Malty sweet flavour with a slightly hoppy finish. Seriously lacking carbonation.
