Poured from the tap @ MBCC 2023 green session (finally adding my notes). Dark brown with small beige head. Boozy, caramel, definitely a sipper, big and heavy.

Tap. Black color with no head. Aroma is big cognac, bourbon too, raisins, caramel syrup. Taste is the same, sticky sweet but so gloriously tasty. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Very good!

Draft at MBCC 2023, Green session. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a lasting frothy lasting tan head. The aroma is malt, toffee caramel. The flavour is strong sweet, with a super smooth, rich, treacle toffee, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.
