Tap at Winter Affair '25. Notes are brief. Quite intense roast, as expected in a IS, also barrel assertively coming through. Rewarding sipper, excellent.

Tap at Winter Affair 2025. Pitch black body, barely any head. Brandy, caramelly notes in the aroma, oxidation, dried fruit, hooh. Dry, oily, slick taste, caramelly maltiness and plenty if dried fruit. Nice, but not my fave.
