Bottle at home. It pours cloudy deep amber with a small white head. The nose is rich, malt-driven, Victoria Sponge cake, jam rolly polly & custard, dried raspberry, wood and caramel. The taste is bitter, toast, dried fruits, fruit cake, jammy, damp wood, leather, spice, alcohol warmth, malt loaf and wet leaves with a lingering dry-woody finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Mmmmalty. Nose is crazy good. Not as drinkable as I had hoped, but interesting anyhow.
