Redish-brown colour. Dark berries nose with elegant toast malts. Powdery texture with notes of chocolate and dark berries. Smooth mouthfeel, medium sweet and medium bodied.

[cask at Cloisters, Edinburgh] Pours deep ruby red with a decent white head. Looks very inviting. Blackberry fruit aroma with a decent amount of sweetness, plus soft roasted malt. On the flavour, this roasty chocolate quality comes out first, before the fruity finish come on afterwards. Quite thin at the end, as it’s a mild, but really drinkable stuff [24062011]
