Pours deep red brown with a fine, staying, creamy, beige head. Lovely laces. Aroma has clear red wine, molasses, roasted malts and dried fruit. Medium carbonation, fat and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is mild oaky tart, lots of plums, figs and grapes. Clear red wine notes. Good dryness in the finish. Delicious, but the brett version was better.

Bottle. Pours deep mahogany brown with a red hue and a small brown head. Aroma is full of brett and red wine barrel, oak sweetness, cherries, some leather.
