Malty, roasted, sweet taste with milky coffee, milky chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses and a sweet, vinous finish with a mild coffee bitterness. Full body, sweet. Too sweet and unbalanced, but still quite tasty. Nice one.

375ml bottle on multiple occasions. Pours opaque dark magonagy brown with almost no head. Aroma: spicy chocolate, coffee, caramel. Taste: heavy sweet, tiramisu, chocolate, toffee fudge, dried fruits. Medium to full body, carb was MIA, warming boozy finish. These bottles afe mostly fading fast nowadays, it was decent back in the day. It's more towards a barleywine than a American Strong Ale for me

Bottle bought at BD Tower Hill. Boozy coffee and dark fruit aroma. Opaque cola brown. No head. What strikes me first is the molasses, which then develops a fruitiness. Light bitter edge. And a lot of booze. As it warms up creamy chocolate joins the party. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Manages to pack in a lot of flavour without overdoing things.
