Sweet and toasted malty with layers of toffee and caramel, dried fruit shred, brown sugar, medium body, spices running through into the malty finish. Nice.

30 May 2022. Bottle from Beer Republic. Vintage 2021. Clear dark brown, thin, tan head. Aroma of dried fig, date, oxidized apple, pear syrup, port, burnt caramel, wet wood, leather. Taste has sweet oxidized apple, pear & raisin in a caramelly malt body, somewhat brown-sugary with herbal & spicy notes. Herbal hoppy finish, dry woody & leathery, lingering dried fruit and warming port-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Expected it to be fuller but there's a fine subtle complexity to it.
