A collaboration between Baron brewing and a shop in London. You don't see red beers all the time and tis the season for such brews so had to pick this one up. Whiskey/ coloured with a reddish hue, no haze and next to no head. Malty and fruity on the nose, caramel and wheaty rye with a hoppy fruit whiff of red grape and berries. In the mouth it's smooth and syrupy and the strong flavour hits immediately with fruit up front and strong malty finish. It transitions from a fruit conserve/chutney to a sweet and dark malt taste. It's nice, I don't think I've had a red brew quite like this, not as fruity or as malty as this. It's like if Badger made quadruple tangled foot! Even then it wouldn't get here I don't think. But think of a nice traditional English ale and American eye beer married under a craft umbrella. It's strong flavour makes it's fairly hard to drink, that is to say it's not light and down able really. The entire 6.5% ABV is covered though so there is no explicit alcohol taste, it just imparts a suggestion of whiskey like Old Speckled hen, if I can use an ale comparison again! The fruit at the start is quite bright, almost getting to pineapple cubes or more like marmalade before being berry-like. The malt is strong, it itself transitions from sweet caramel to dark chocolate and even reaches marmite levels of malt.
