Old rating from 2019 - Brought from the brewery 4 years ago & stored in my cellar. Dark in colour. Plums and dark fruit aroma with a bit of bread. Medium carbonation with a sweet bitterness. Extremely well balanced. The high ABV is so well hidden. Outstanding!

Bottle. This was a really tasty beer. One of the better ales I’ve ever tasted definitely in my top beers. Amber in color with a really nice head. Aroma is dried fruit, with a complex whiff. Taste was complex but pleasant.
