Pours an amber colour with brown tinge to it. Slightly cloudy with off-white head. Decent look to it.

Smells a bit chocolatey with a touch of cocoa and coffee. Bit of rye spice reminiscent of cinnamon. Quite subtle, but not bad.

Taste is mildly spicy, with again a touch of roasted coffee beans on there, slight vinous hint giving a slight peppery Shiraz character. Fairly empty and dry. I appreciate what they're trying to do but they could amp up the ABV a bit and have a decent beer. Just feels watery, thin and weak at the moment.

Decent enough flavour, I'd just like a bit more of it. Feels like an experiment to try and make a decently-flavoured light beer, and yes they've succeeded, but light beers are just pointless. Make it 4% and you still have the experimental factor but just a more interesting beer.
