Bottle shared by Nickls: Muddy brown bronze pour. The aroma is musty with some old raspberry, mild leather and toasted malts. Frothy feel. The flavor has a tart fruitiness.. A bit of funk. Mild subdued raspberry tartness- spicy notes of nutmeg and some brett qualities giving off leather and cherry skin. Fairly unique and hard to describe- pretty good overall.

Bottle. [thank you, Harrisoni]
Gusher!
Pours clear red-golden with a nice, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has notes of red wine, grapes, some ginger, cinnamon and coriander, biscuity and caramelly malts. High, frothy carboantion, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is tart, some oak, caramel, biscuity, tannins and grape-like red wine. Some nuttiness as well. Nice and very drinkable.

Bottle shared by Nickls, gushed all over the place. Beautiful pour, lovely lacing head. Kind of tart, fruity, surprising aroma, mild spices. Flavors got a light, tart fruitiness, very vineous and white wine-like, with a kind of flat, chalky finish. Pretty nice, quite interesting.

Bottle. A nose full of spices - cardamon seems to slightly come out in front but ginger apparent. Dark brown with a small head. Sweet raisin malt flavor with spices being somewhat subdued given the aroma. Light alcohol bite in the finish.
