Bottle at home (origins unknown and 4.9%) Nice aroma of vanilla in the nose. Pours mahogany with a transient cream head. A good mix of fruit and sweetness in the mouth, Blackberries, chocolate and aniseed. Finish has liquorice and roast malts. Overall it’s nice, but there is an underlying unpleasantness, which I can’t pin down.
