8th October 2022
Opaque black brown beer, small tan head Tonka dark nose. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth and rich dark chocolate malt, nicely creamy and with a fair dose of alcohol spice. Trace of creamy dark chocolate. Savoury Tonka into mild plummy fruits. Modest coffee, what there is, is smooth. Mild Cognac Barrel. Some alcohol spice on the back end but the barrelling is not that obvious. Light spicy finish. Rich but not in the ways you might expect.

Thick, yet not quite MCI. Sweet, boozy. Cognac comes through nicely, massive cocoa, dark chocolate, vanilla, some berries/tonka, really smooth. Very nice.
