stravale (2547) - Near Carrick-on-Shannon, IRELAND - OCT 19, 2012
Bottle at Craig’s tasting 16th Oct 2012
Black, thin tan rim around glass, tan head quickly dissipated
Aroma - dark fruits, berries, some sourness on the nose
Taste - Very fruity sour, blackcurrants, red berries, quite acidic, dark rich malts underneath...bit vinegary...ok initially then got more sour
Palate - medium body, bitter bit roughish roast in the finish and was getting pretty sour
Overall - Hmm -- possibly infected..OK initially - very fruity and drinkable but then got a bit clawing....looking at the other reviews there was probably something wrong with this

dantheman278 (1361) - SCOTLAND - OCT 16, 2012
Bottle #19 from Maltings. Jet black pour, thick bubbly tan head. Odd raspberry tart nose, deep dark chocolate malts. Odd raspberry tartness again, balsamic sour hints, bitter chocolate finish. Not sure this tartness is deliberate!
