330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, courtesy of Mark! Many thanks. Pours dark, small tan head. Nice rich dark malt on the nose with a light sweetness. Taste is super smooth, not massively rich, but with good layered chocolate and a light brandy influence. Expected moire brandy but it’s a nice impy to end the night.

Cheers Paolo for this new brew: 330ml bottle between five at the March 2017 meeting of the Shrewsbury Bottle Exchange Group. Best before 1st Oct 2026, we had it fresh and it was lovely. Dark moody pour, beige head. Brandy esters didn’t really fill my nose, but they tried too, rich malty flavours did fill my mouth on taking a sip. Really easy drinking brew with plenty of alcohol hidden away behind the malt flavours, Brandy aging not showing too greatly, but a very good beer all the same.
