Bottle from Hogs Back Brewery shop. Low key aroma of sweet dark fruits and marzipan. Some booze. Dark chestnut with a ruby tint. Creamy light beige head. Sweet throughout - pretty syrupy. A fruit sour edge. At first I picked up more bitterness but subsequently it was into the finish that any cam through. Mesium bodied. Somewhat creamy but still on the thin side. Average finish. Long finish. OK but far too sweet for me to want to have any more.

Aroma is murky moss some ash some overly sweet syrupy malt. Taste is sour and sweet syrup. Not balanced. Quite ugly. Aftertaste is sweet and more pleasant. Still bad.

Bottle from Delhaize. Pours dark amber/brown with a minimal tan head. The aroma contains caramel, sugar, butterscotch, roasted malt and toffee. It tastes medium to heavy sweet and very light bitter, which counters a possible cloying. Slightly roasted & metallic finish with some warming alcohol. Medium body, slick/syrupy texture, soft carbonation. I might even have this again. (Edited 30/1/18)
