Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. A huge massive literlly unbelievable gusher. I lost 2/3 of the 330ml bottle and there is now a massive brown stain on my hotel room beige carpet which I will probablty have to pay for. There was some serious fermentation going on inside this bottle!! What was left poured a clear dark brown with a fizzy, short-lived ight tan head. The aroma is caramel roasty malt, chocolate and coffee. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich red berry ruit, oily, sweet, coffee, chocolate, alcohol bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with massive carbonation.

Creamy brown, beige head. Toasty toffee aroma, chocolate and some apple povidlo. Taste is boozy but not too much so, cocoa, bitter chocolate, milky and creamy. Soy sauce and lots of umami. Nice chocolaty dry finish.
