ADTWD team tasting in sunny Halzlemere. Near opaque dark amber brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fairly light bodied malts on this 23% brew. Trace of dark chocolate, bitterish dark toffee underneath. Big savoury bourbon and whiskey, fruity and a little oak induced vanilla. Light semi dry spicy finish. Delicious.
