Bottle split at L6 Tasting, picked up from the Beer Hawk bar - Southbank, 21/03/19. Light black with a well presented tan covering. Nose is roast malts, fruit loaf, coco powder, toffee, light bourbon. Taste comprises ripe fruits, chocolate, raisins, trace of bourbon, dark malts, light spice. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow barrel edge. Ok stuff ... drinks easy but lacking a little depth.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Cloin. Pours clear copper-brown with a foamy, off-white head. Nice stuff overall, rich toffee character, low bitterness, lightly toasted brown bread. Medium bodied, a little oily, with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with more toffee notes, some ripening berries. Solid.

Keg at Casc Aberdeen. It pours darkest ruby - black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich dark fruits, fruit cake, plum, bitter - sweet, soft roasted character, plum, date and oak. The taste is initially smooth, then bitter, rich roasted malt, warming alcohol, vanilla, rocky road, fruit cake, nougat, charred wood, leather, chocolate cake and prune with a roast and warming finish. Medium to full body and fine, foamy carbonation. Maybe lacks a touch of depth, but it is flavourful. Enjoyable.
Cheers Josh
