TCBW2025. Pitch black colour, small head. Aroma is liquorice, some wood, mild vanilla, chocolate and some plum to it. Flavour is quite similar, but also has a nice blackcurrant like dry bitterness in the finish. Big'n'bold.

Really nice gear, a little iodine vibe, rich and syrupy dark malts, light roast, boozy kick, brown sugar, raisins. Warming, hearty.

Bottleshare at CBJ, thanks to Tips for the bottle. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Good rich dark chocolate malts. Mellow tangy vanilla intersects and shows decent milk chocolate. Tangy ripe bourbon soaked fruits on the back end. Nice.
