Draught at Khyber: dark brown with beige head. Veritable floral and honey notes. Some booze in the nose along with the heavy maltiness. Taste is kind of sweet. Low bitterness. Hefty honey notes. Pretty nice.

0.33cl bottle pours with a dirty deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan colored ring of tan bubbles. The aroma offers up inviting integrated dates, prunes and caramel as well as a subtly sherry booziness. Nice. The taste delivers a faint sense of earthy tobacco and then quickly getting into plum to date to sherry like boozy notes wrapped in smooth sweet kettle caramelization. It maintains smooth sweet dark fruity esters and a mild murmur of caramel and a dash of warming booze right into the finish. Solid smooth sipper.
