Can from HoTM. It pours clear mahogany brown with a small white head. The aroma is rich maltage, brown bread bread, rivita, wood, touch of liquorice, nutty, some dried fruits, fruit cake, candied peel and very subdued whisky. The taste is bitter - sweet, sticky, oily, chewy, slick, toothy, toffee, nutty, vanilla, dried fruits, fruit cake, raisin, sultana, mellow fruitiness, fudgey, barley sugar, creme caramel, whisky is only faint, but fruity and some alcohol warmth with a slick, sweet finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and chewy mouth feel. Perhaps a touch sweet/heavy duty, but plenty to like about this. Fun stuff.
