An extraordinary collaboration with Florida's J. Wakefield. Expect rich aromas of dark sugar and toffee, with a comforting chocolate fudge flavour profile, warming spirit complexity and a slick mouthfeel.

On tap at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Aromas of fudge, chocolate cake, lots of bourbon, raisin, dark fruits. Flavours of vanilla fudge, chocolate cake, bourbon, raisin, lots of underlying coffee notes. Not too much burn, slips down a bit too easily. Rich sweet warming finish.

Аромат очень прикольный, сразу ликерчик, немного сладости, ванилька, пирожное, кофе прямо ароматное но без зерен и черного шоколада, винные нотки, немного дерева, чернослив, изюм, в общем очень глубоко. Цвет темно коричневый, но убер мутный, пенки нету конечно. Вкус удивляет своим телом, оно очень мягко идет. Сразу баланс между крепостью и сладостью. Много ликера прежде всего, сладкие нотки от леденцов, ванилька снова, пирожное, немного специй от ликера. Снова кофейные нотки, но не зерна снова. При глотке немного усиленный вкус ликера с ноткой алкоголя и чуть более сильной концентрации чем нужно, а также кленовый сироп. Послевкусие плавное, сладкое снова, чернослив и изюм, маслянистость появляется и нотки шоколада. В целом очень крутой напиток.

375ml bottle - Pours black with a diminishing small tan head. The aroma is chocolatey, sweet dark fruit, plum pudding, sweet spice, and bourbon. A sweet taste, boozy plum pudding, chocolate, dark fruit, spice, bourbon, and burnt brown sugar flavours with light drying sherry finish. Delicious!

12 February 2024. Bottled: 2/3/2020. Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (presumably). Hazy black, thin, beige head. Strong aroma of fondant sauce, dark fudge, vanilla bean, maple syrup, brandy, fig, candied plum, cinnamon. Taste has sweet candied fig, plum & pear in a thick, syrupy malt body of dark chocolate, fudge, pecan nut and brown sugar with a hint of vanilla and cookie spices. Peppery hops in the finish, lingering bittersweet fondant, very vague herbal coffee, dried fruits and warming brandy-like alcohol. Full body, oily-sticky texture, soft carbonation. Luscious Dark Ale; a true comfort during dark nights.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. Pours black with a dense, cascading brown cream topping. Medium to big sweet flavour with notes of toffee, chocolate, dried dark fruits, raisins, figs, dates, burnt marshmallows, oily vanilla, nips of bourbon. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly sticky and warming, great depth, impressively drinkable. Legit gear.

Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours like motor oil - darkest brown to black with a dissipating khaki head. The aroma is sweet, slick, oily, intoxicating, heady notes of bourbon, bourbon soaked oak, chocolate bourbons, vanilla, toasted coconut, toffee and whiskey fudge. The taste is slick, oily, thick, bitter - sweet, chewy, roasted malt, toasty, vanilla, toasted coconut, incredible amount of bourbon, bourbon soaked oak, toffee, honeycomb, vanilla fudge, warming booze, slightly charred oak, dried fruits and fruit cake with a slick, bourbon laden finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Flavourful and quaffable. Noy too sweet either. Tasty.
