Bottle. Extremely strong tasting, but that’s not really a shock. Takes a while to finish with a heavy spirit-like nose including dark malts - there’s some roasted malts, but not too many as its sweetness dominates away from the alcohol. Black with a thin head and a sticky texture.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - close to opaque black with some head. Nose - boozy, dried fruit, cake. Taste - loads more of the same. The dried fruit thing is lovely. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - yes enjoyable.
