Bottle, 12C. Very dark brown with a light tan head that fades to a cm. Aroma of treacle, mocha, grass, vanilla, prunes, figs, peat. Sweet, but lighter-bodied than suggested by the aroma. Silky mouthfeel; like the way it’s full but well short of syrupy. Briefly sweet with treacle, coffee, raisins, mandarin peel, lots of prunes and some spices. Dries out at the end leaving dried fruits, hints of pepper and smoky wood. Weight of the beer is commensurate with flavours. Perhaps the woody finish arrives a bit soon, but I like this a lot.
