Bottle at Chris O’s party shack. Amber reddish in colour, small white lacing. Bitter in hops with sweet candy sugar and dark fruits. Taste is similar in sweetness with a long orangey bitter aftertaste. Quite similar barelye wine character but prob better condition when aged.

Bottled. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is barley wineish sweet malts along with plums and mild caramel. Flavour is raisins, sweet malts, mild grass and quite much alcohol, especially when it warms up.
