Bottle pour thanks to Brian! Cola brown w/no sparkle or lacing. Aroma is strong dark fruit/raisin, toffee, caramel. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation finish as taste. Good.

500 ml bottle, Thanks to Brain on the share. I can’t find Cavado’s or apple brandy at this point. Just tastes like toffee, raisins, and old plums. Barrel is not here.
