330ml bottle. Pours a very hazy dark brown with a large head. Aroma is woody, vanilla and bourbon. Taste is oaky with vanilla to start. Vanilla, chocolate and bourbon on the finish. A bit too fizzy. The beer Innis & Gunn wishes it was.

Bottle at the Euston Tap. It pours deep brown, with a thick beige head. The nose is spice, oak, vanilla, vinous, earth, Dandelion & Burdock, blackcurrant ham and raspberry yoghurt. The taste is oak, spice, leather, red berry (particularly raspberry), brett, vinous, jam, port and vanilla, with a dry, jammy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Great depth of flavour. Interesting and well balanced. Delicious.

On tap at the Three Tuns, Bristol 14/10/2012. Deep, reddish brown with no head or carbonation - pretty much pancake flat. Aroma of red berries, chocolate, vanilla and wood. Flavour had more chocolate, molasses, cherries, a hint of marzipan and slightly sweaty, tart finish. A highly unusual beer, that would have been truly excellent with a bit more life to it.
