From a 375ml can on 16/3/2021. Pours an opaque amber with no head. Smells, of dark and dried fruit, spice and booze. The same is evident on the taste, along with some caramel, toffee and nuts. It's quite sweet up front but has a reasonably firm bitter boozy finish. Definitely a slow sipper but it holds the 14% pretty well. The mouthfeel is syrupy, the carbonation soft. Got much better as it opened up. It certainly has a few rough edges, but there's a fair bit going on. Might be quite interesting sometime down the track.

Can, 14C. Clear deep brown with no head. Aroma of bread, brandy, prunes, mace. Getting on for syrupy. Medium to low carbonation. Very sweet and fairly bitter with stewed fruit and layers of dark sugars. Boozy, bitter and spicy at the end. Released 9/20 and about ready now but I'd guess I'd like it more in one or two years.
