On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - opaque black like crude oil and with a lovely fawn crema head. Nose - really dark chocolate with a raisin note. Taste - more dark chocolate and raisins. There’s a light wood and cognac note as you swallow. Actually it’s quite oxidised. If it was a wine it would imply corked. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - complex and interesting.
