750ml bottle won from BillyT. It pours like motor oil... darkest brown to black with a small tan head. The aroma is unctuous, rich, oily, super dark roasted malt, molasses, treacle, malt loaf, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, Eccles cake, black bun, big bourbon character, huge vanilla, toffee, toasted coconut, bounty bar and toasted brown sugars. The taste is slick, oily, chewy, heavy, toothy, slick, dark roasted malt, burnt toast, coffee grounds, tar, molasses, treacle, boozey warmth, toffee, bourbon soaked oak, umami, liquorice allsorts, warming booze, dark chocolate, touch of tannin, leather, vanilla and toasted coconut with a drying, chewy and more savoury finale. Full+ body, fine prickly carbonation and motor oil mouth feel. Absolutely ludicrous stuff. Huge, decadent and unctuous. Not sure I could take down a bottle myself, but this is a very enjoyable festive tipple.
