From a 330ml bottle on 26/3/2015.Pours close to balck with a small tan head. The nose features some light caramel and chocolate. Take a sip and you know you’re dealing with a big beer. There’s a good dose of sweet caramel against a background of dark chocolate and roasted malt, some vanilla, soy, with some hints of dark fruit and red wine. There’s a pretty good sweet/bitter balance going on, with the latter relatively sharp and a touch salty. While not too hard to down, the fact that it’s 11 plus per cent doesn’t necessarily surprise. Has a creamy texture and softish carbonation. All up, a very solid impy.

[12/14] Bottle, 12C. Black with a tan head that lasts well. Aroma of fudgy Indian sweetmeats, mocha, passionfruit, prunes, vanilla. Oily, lowish carbonation. Very rich with fudgy sweetness, roasty, coffee, lots of dark chocolate. Fruit gets a bit lost. Quite bitter and resinous at the end. Slightly ashy too. Carries the alcohol well, certainly warming at the end. Smells great, suspect the flavours will gel a little more in a few months. [3.9][6/15] As before. Still smells and looks great. Hasn’t softened appreciably, maybe needs a couple of years.[2/16] Still very bitter and a bit bitey at the end, but certainly coming together. Doesn’t smell or look quite as good now. IMHO drink up this coming winter.
