Bottle from Craig, cheers mate!, had this 01-02-08 Poured dark reddy brown very murky and a real erupter to the extent that I probably lost half of it over the work surface. Quite a fruity nose even a touch of sourness quite dry to taste bit sour again very fruity but this felt quite rough to me and afraid to say not my thing at all.

Bottle, thanks cgarvieuk! Lively carbonation, rocky head, cloudy red beer. Very rich beer, the label says this is ideal with roast beef, and you almost get a meaty feeling in the mouth. There are fruits and berries and loads of grain and malt, too. Sligtly oaky dry finish, a little sourness. They have managed to cram a lot of good stuff into this beer. I’d love to try it on cask!

Deep red brown, smokey malt nose, quite fizzy in mouth feel, lots of malt and rich fruit (blueberries?) very complex
