330ml bottle as part of a delivery from Sophie's Beer Store and drunk at home. Mahogany brown with a loose beige head. Surprisingly light aroma with chocolate malt, hazelnut, whisky notes. Sweet taste with more chocolate, raisin, more nutty character leading to a short finish. Flourish of whisky in the aftertaste. Thin body, heavy carbonation. More subtle than many barrel-aged beers. Nice.
