From a 440ml can on 29/12/2023 (shared with Ed). Pours a deep deep brown with a medium tan head that dissipates quickly. The nose is strongly boozy, with lot's of whisky and chocolate and dried fruit. Ridiculously intense on the sip, presenting every bit of its 12.5% and perhaps more. You get dark chocolate, raisins, roasted/burnt malt with lashings of whisky and sherry. Has a medium roasty bitterness finishing with a hint of sour. Syrupy palate with moderate carbonation. A good, complex, super intense, boozy sipper

Can. Black with a good coat of tan head that laces a little before departing. Rich, brooding aroma of mocha, whisky, light spices. Full bodied but just short of syrupy. Lowish carbonation. Sweet with lots of dark chocolate, whisky, roasted malt, coffee. Bitterness and quite a lot of oak tame things at the end - and you wonder whether that's going to be too much or not enough. In the end it nags a little but needs it. There's a nice toastiness to the finish. Good, but I might have liked it better at 2/3rds the ABV.
