Bottle picked up at Tuckers Maltings, Newton Abbot in November. Black as black can be, too sweet but there were some dried fruits on the nose and kicking about in the flavour dept’ other than that I was somewhat dissapointed by this.

Black with brownish shine, totally opaque; slim, slightly irregular but rather dense brown head. Sourish-lactic nose, Flemish brown-like, superimposed on the classical chocolate cake. Whew -taste! Bitter, sweet and sour at the same time - some jumble. Flavours of smoked/cigar ash, bitter chocolate, fruit acids, lactic, berries, grapes and sweet cake. Very full-bodied, chewy. Aftertaste is acid-etched sweetness. Extremely likeable and dangreously drinkable for its ABV. Searched long after this -well worth the waiting. Thanks to MatW!
