Bottle, 13C. Clear dark amber with a beige head. Aroma of stewed fruits, sherry, oranges, leather, toffee - quite old ale-ish with a dash of doppelbock. Sweet with balancing bitterness. Medium-bodied, just slightly syrupy. Very nice modest carbonation. As much dried fruit as caramel, definite aged notes - a touch of sourness as well as oxidation. Some sweetshop/ medicinal spices at the end. After a while the sweetness starts to defeat the finish. Going somewhere unusual for a US beer and pretty much succeeding. Interesting beer.

Bottled@Black Heart (rockpub around the corner from Brewdog Camden). After ordering all the big abv bottles at Brewdog Camden, it was probably the perfect thing to go and order a big bottle of beer in this cosy pub... Reddish brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is leathery, sour wooden, with some sweet malts and mild earthy notes. Flavour is rather similar in good balance. My notes have a few more sentences added by the end of the bottle, but the coding is too hard for me to interpret...

Draught@The Ginger Man, NYC
My first beer from this brewery! Clear ruby color, steady off-white head, lace. Light caramelly nose is also berryish. Medium-bodied. Feels lighter than 8 %. Caramel, some alcohol, sticky hoppyness. Lingering, a bit harsh and bitter aftertaste.
