Bottle at Craigs 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
