Pours absolutely black. Small ring of dark foam. Smell is dark malts, mild spices. Boozy. Taste is sweet, rich, thick, dark malts. Spices are to the back, so don’t overpower. Sharp boozy undertone though. Nice !

Bottle split at RB Best Hotel Lobby Share, post festival, 31/01/16. Black with a well appointed tan head. Nose is dark fruit rinds, raisens, dates, chocolate, toffee. Taste comprises bitter chocolate, modest barrel notes, liquorice, black peppery spice, stoned fruits, molasses. Full bodied, fine carbonation, rising alcohol in the close. Decent enough offering but fails to deliver compared to similar high boost impys.
