Tap @MBCC 2024, Red Session. Clear dark brown, beige head. Malty, caramely dried fruit aroma. Sweet flavour, rich malty with sweet dried fruit. Some light boozy buzz in the finish.

Murky reddish-brown. There’s a thin head, and that was with a fairly aggressive pour. Big toffee aroma, decently fruity like stewing apricots and quince. Lots of vanilla that comes out as soon as it begins to warm. This is a rich dessert on the palate. Vanilla, toffee, the comes is just dabs of jam and marmalade. Big body, sweetish finish. Not that there isn’t bitterness but it serves a balancing function only.
