Keg at BrewDog Shepherd’s Bush - London. Pours oily ruby-brown with a thick, creamy khaki head. The aroma holds lots of dark fruits, berries, prunes, hints of cocoa. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with a good drop of licorice, blueberries, dark chocolate, cherries, stewed apples. Full bodied, chewy, with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with some drying, ashy roast, more dark and oily fruits, burnt bread, earthy bitterness, cocoa, leathery berries. Great depth and complexity, and quite drinkable.

Keg at BD SB as rating 8k. It pours pretty much black with a small beige head. The nose is earthy roast, dark fruits, juicy, toasted coconut, big dark chocolate action and bounty bar. The taste is smooth, earthy roast, wood, cocoa, toasty, leather, light spice, charred notes, toasted coconut, light vanilla, umami, cocoa, varnish and a good hit of booze with a dry finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Interesting, but doesn’t quite sing like some of the previous vintages I have had. A touch hot perhaps. Solid still.

Hints of old toffee. Medium sweet flavor with some chalky cocoa, old dried dark fruits, earth. Sweet finish with some well toasted dark malts, a bit of earth, toasted caramel, more dried berries.
