Pours dark brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma has caramel and malts, tart berry notes, grain, toffee notes, ripe fruits. Flavor starts slightly tart with berry notes, wood, malty bitterness, subtle dry cocoa, caramel, subtle peaty notes on the finish. The tartness pretty much ruins this, maybe taken something too much from the casks, otherwise okay, definitely disappointing and worst from the series so far.
