[my 5,300th rating]
Pours slightly muddy yellow-orange with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has wood, sweet sticky malts, strawberries, port and viniousness. Light, prickly carbonation, great dry mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, lots of oak, light flowery hops, sweet malts, some berries and green apple. Wonderful, long bitterness mixed with oaky tartness.
