Bottle at home, from Thornbridge online, 02/01/23 - wee hours, bit of late night BBL highlights before bed. Black with a khaki covering that thins to a swirl. Nose is dark malts, spice, toffee fudge, fruit cake mix, syrup, dates, rum barrel, chocolate. Taste comprises mellow roast, twist of rum, figgy notes, molasses, rum and raisin, chocolate, spice, dark malts. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced spike of alcohol. Tidy BA impy affair keeps a roasty balance and doesn't run away sweet.
