Sample thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy brown with a thin white head. Aromas of sherry and nuts. Light toffee and wood. Taste is more of the same. Boozy finish.

75cl bottle from Hoptimism. Appearance - deep brown with thin tan lacing. Nose - raisins, brown sugar and malt loaf. Taste - rum 'n' raisin and malt loaf again. Luscious treacle and light spice. Almost Jamaica cake. Palate - full bodied, silky texture. Sweet, yet elegant linger. Overall - really lovely beer.

750ml bottle. Sweetish, oaky and malty with some candi sugar, toffee, syrup and yeastiness. A bit sweet and stingy.

Medium body, sweet. Nose has raisins and malty bread. Malty raisins, dates, a bit dry, surprisingly light. Nice. Opens up when warmer, more fruity, more raisin, more full. Upgrade.
