Cotts 2019. Boozy rich Christmas aroma. Darkest brown. Thin beige head. Medium-heavy bitter. Charcoal and some fruit. Medium bodied. On the thin side. Average carbonation. Long finish. I guess it's not aged particularly well - a tad bland.

Bottle at Craig’s. Pours dark black, thin tan head. Aromas start strangely menthol, but resolve into peated whisky. Taste has more peat, not much of the stout character left. Full-bodied, oily mouthfeel, boozy finish.
