500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 23. Thanks Jeremy for this, and for the Christmas pudding which we paired this with. Pours black, tan head. A bit fizzy, a touch thin.. like Jeremy says lacks the richness and depth of malt one expects - nay, demands - of a red wax sealed bottle.. no brandy and little in the way of dried dark fruits, but it's a pleasant stout all the same.

30th October 2023, Chez Sophie Monthly Gathering, five guys, beers and bollox. 500ml bottle: BB 24th November 2023, brought by me. We also shared a lovely Christmas Pudding when tasting this (also brought by me). I thought this 'a bit fizzy' and not as rich or decadent as I'd hoped for, it did have a Christmas Pud feel to it, but it somehow 'missed a trick' in my eyes.

Bottle split at Tilt, Bingo-Cotts Convention, picked up online 08/07/23. Black with a tan cap that retains well. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, light fruit tang, toffee. Taste comprises tangy fruits, light earthy roast, toffee, nutty. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. I'ts okay if a touch simplistic.
