Bottle split at L42, thanks to Bropey, 23/01/17. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a well appointed light tan cap. Nose is toffee, earthy fruit rinds, smoked tones, charred wood, light peppery spice. Taste comprises toffee, spice, peated notes, subtle sherry barrel, dark malts, tangy fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok stuff but not the best of the variants for me … a bit rough and earthy.

Level 42 bottleshare. Thanks to Paul. Clear deep amber - brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Soft sweetish malts, mild malt cream and dark toffee. Mellow alcohol spice and woody bitterness. Sherry well blended with ripe fruits. Pleasant and tasty but not the knockout I was hoping for.
