Bottle at CBJ Tasting. Dark and inky with a creosote tint. No head. Aroma has boozy mocha with a berry edge. Flavourwise it's very tangy with a big bitter element. Berries and mocha and booze. Thick. Pily. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish.

Very sweet, touches cloying. Dark fruits, sugary chocolate,
Low roast. Not bad but a little punchy and sugary.

Bottle shared at the craft beer junction bermondsey tasting. Many thanks to Wingman for this one. A opaque black coloured pour with a fading reluctant head. Aroma is meaty roast, liquorice, peanut, tar, liquorice. Flavour is composed of super intense rich, blackcurrant, thick and chewy. Super intense. Not very smoky. Palate is thicc, chewy. Dark chocolate, fudge.. Lovely.

A little less of that sweet caramel tangy finish that a lot of 3 Sons have that I don't like, which is nice. Pours black without much head or lacing. Some coconut, plenty of tart barrel. Light marshmallow. Oily consistency. Snallygaster.

Bottle pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a pitch black, motor oil black color with a small tan head. Aroma was bourbon barrel, vanilla. Cacao, with a lot of peaty notes. Really nice, and smooth, well - maybe just a little hot, but otherwise quite nice.
