Bottle shared at the CBC Islington for the jk tasting. Many thanks to Scopey and Daniel for this one. A reddy mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting light tan head. Aroma is is nutty chocolates malts, cake, hot alcohol, green apple. Flavour is composed of liquorice, fudge, burnt sugars, cake, green apple, dried fruits. Spicy dried fruit. Palate is rounded, frothy, airy carbonation, semi sweet. Lingering liquorice. Interesting.

Bottles shared at the JK Tasting - Craft Beer Co., Islington. Many thanks to the bros. Pours brown with a big, frothy tan head. The aroma holds ripening fruits and milk chocolate. Medium sweet flavour, lightly boozy, with notes of dark bread, berries and raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet on the finish, lightly roasty, with more chocolate, further ripened and dried dark fruits. Good stuff on the whole.

Bottle. Cotteridge. Very dark, cola brown. Thin, dense, lasting, tan head. Nose has fruit cake. Fruity yeast. Some chocolate truffle. Light roast. Some ripe pear. Taste is vine fruit sweet. Fairly dry. Light, roast bitterness. Medium body. Fair bit of vinous tang dries things out. Vinous, cakey sweet finish. Not a favourite style, but this drinks tasty and smooth.
