Bottle pour at MBCC 2025, blue session. Pours murky mahagony. Tons of blackberries and dark cherries, honey on the nose. Flavour has tons of dark berries, sweet grainy honey. Mouthfeel is a bit gritty. Still very good.

Bottle. Dark ruby color with no head. Aroma is blackcurrants, vanilla, good honey, rich and with a slight madeirization. Taste is blackcurrant goodness, good tannins, tartness too, ridiculously drinkable for the richness. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Incredible stuff!
