From backlog. Draught @ Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Sweet, syrupy and stuffy with loads of almond, nuts, bourbon, artificial caramel and toffee, mint, hints of syrup. Quite messy.

11.2% On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Almond spice aroma. Lovely barley wine. Red fruits. Really liked the almond. Hot. Made me drunk but loved the almond. Chriso talking about The Cure and Maxell tape adverts.

Tap. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is super amaretto, caramel. Taste is amaretto, caramel, raisins. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Decent, but too much amaretto cocktail cherry for me.
