Draught at Ale Arsenal. Pours inky black with no head except a small collar of brown, intermittent bubbles around the collar. Beautiful sweetness on boozy barrel on the aroma. Flavor follows suit with a rich bread, dark fruit and candi aspect. Cloying sweetness plays well. Great beer.

Bottle split at the 2nd CBJ tasting, thanks to Danny 31/08/23. Light black with a tan cap that clears edgewards. Nose is toffee, bourbon, fruit cake, dates, sticky dark fruit rinds, molasses. Taste comprises fruit cake mix, sticky toffee pudding, light chocolate, dates, bourbon barrel, brown sugar melt. Full bodied, oily mouthfeel, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid BA life.

Bottle shared at CBJ. Cheers to Dan. Pours deep ruby with a creamy, off-white head. Big sweet flavour, super rich, loads of berries, toffee, figs, booze, vanilla. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Sweet and warming finish, sticky. Delicious.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare. Thanks to Dan the Man. A light haze on this deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, quite light, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, thin creamy sweetness. Good fruity bourbon, a little spicy, goes well with the malts. Finishes semi dry and spicy. Nothing unusual here but just so well put together.
