From a 375ml can (2021 vintage, abv 13.5%) on 20/10/2022 (shared with Butz). Pours near black with zero head. Has a huge boozy, dark dried fruit nose. Tastes super vinous - sour red grape skin, blackcurrant, and unripe blackberries, prunes and raisins. Finishes hot, boozy and a bit harsh, with a sharp lingering sour coating the back of the throat. Has an oily mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Has a big rep, but I found this just really messy and quite hard to drink tbh. Sounds like quite a different beer to some of the earlier versions. More red wine than beer for mine.

Keg at Alchemist Beer Lab, Singapore. Very dark brown, small head. Intense aroma of chocolate and brandy. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Peppery with molasses, chocolate, licorice and notes of vanilla. Intensely warming finish.

2017 version (aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels rather than Lark whisky barrels, 12.5% ABV). Black with a tan head that's soon a rim and island. Aroma of chocolate, Bourbon, toffee shards, cantucci. Full bodied, very low carbonation. Fairly sweet, but not over the top with a strong caramel theme, less chocolate, vanilla. Nicely judged bitterness just reins things in at the end.A whiff of booze. As is so often the case with sort of thing, I wanted more stout. But it's really good.
