Nose : Mellow, chocolaty malt. Soft vinous notes. Subdued fruits (hints of green banana). Light Liquorice.
Palate : Dark, chocolaty malt sweetness immediately countered by a liquorice.aniseed-like hoppiness. Complex estery fruit notes swirl in the background: red berries, pear, a little sharp citrus. A port-wine note emerges.
Finish : Warming and dry, with hops building to provide firm bitterness while malt and chocolate remain. Vinous notes linger.
Comments : A complex and fascinating, award-winning red ale in an attractive new, chunkier bottle
Score : 8
