Sampled from tap at Borefts 2018. Clear, dark reddish amber with an off-white head. Sweetish-malty, a little fruity aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes and a touch of caramel. Fairly sweet, malty, slightly fruity taste of molasses, vanilla, raisins and prunes, followed by a long, quite bitter, warming and gently boozy finish. Full body, creamy to oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!
