Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy opaque brown with an orange hue and a lacing beige head. Tart, acetic, woody nose with some raspberry shining through. Medium body, a dry, tart fruitiness, rustic and fusty. Again the raspberries are there but so is a very unfortunate acetic edge. Ends dry. Nothing much is left of the original bere here, this time the barrel almost ruined it. 130612

Bottle, 10%. Boozy and jammy aroma, blackcurrant, Ribena, alcohol, paint thinner, rather complex actually. Very dark brown colour, seems quite cloudy. Big semi-stable light brown head. The flavour also has a lot of berry, like a good Ribena, vodka mixture. Very refreshing, but a bit high ABV for a refreshing beer, in my opinion.
