Tap at Borefts 2019. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a round bubbly tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, toffee caramel, herbal, boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, oily, liqouirce, chilli spice, alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Borefts XI Day 2 . Keg. Opaque black- brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts. Nice fruity bourbon. Fair bit of habanero burn, but not too much. Modest cinnamon. Quite drinkable. Pepper linger.
