Bottle bought at the brewery tap. Aroma had sweet booze and dark fruit. Underlying coffee. Dark and glossy cola brown. Thick foamy beige head. There's a cutting boozy streak that adds bitterness to what otherwise appears a sweet snd very malty beer. Dark berries, dried fruit and Horlicks. Medium bodied. Oily, if a tad watered down. Long astringent finish. Enjoyable boozy and fruity yet also malty.
