Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a clear orangey brown with a creamy and lacing beige head. Sweet chocolatey nose with some honey. Medium body, hard roast, odd bonbonish edge - if that’s the barrel aging it didn’t really come out all that pleasant. Bitter roast finish. 080911

From a 330ml bottle on 21/8/2011 (bottle no. 1020). Pours very dark with a medium tan head. Has a strong and quite sharp aroma with heaps of roasted malt, some smokiness, oak and a touch of fruit. There is some sweet berry and cherry flavours up front, followed by some coffee and dark chocolate. The dominating feature is the extremely long, firm roasty, almost burnt bitterness. This is a bit of a sipper, and actually comes across as being bigger than 6.5%. Complex and distinctive.

Pours black with a long lasting tan head.Nose shows amazing milk chocolate, roasted malt and oatmeal. Subtle hints of oak come through. Reminiscent of hot chocolate...Flavours are instead dominated by roasted malt and coffee with little else showing. Too roasty with very little complexity.Very creamy carbonation, nice.

Very dark brown, light tan head fades to a coat with sticky lacing. Aroma of chocolate, stewed fruits, burnt dark sugars, grass. Sweet dark sugars and fruit - prunes and berries - with quite sharp grass, citrus, roasted/ coffee bitterness. Quite a lot of burnt flavours. A little wood and vanilla in a drying bitter finish. Full, oily mouthfeel. Didn’t quite seem to open up at first but bitterness less prominent as it warmed towards about 14C. Bitterness lingers a long time. [rerate - melange of flavours that seem freer a bit warmer but the (new?) oak takes over at the end. Interesting and rather strange.]
