Can thanks to my bro for the gift. It pours oily jet black with a small dark tan head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, sticky, heady notes of oily coconut, chocolate cake, cacao nibs, bounty bar Kendal mint cake, vanilla, tunnocks teacake, jammy wagon wheels and some boozey tang. The taste is slick, oily, chewy, toothy maltage, sweet and intoxicating, sticky, vanilla, marshmallow fluff, coconut, chocolate, chocolate bourbons, gateaux, coffee cake, tiramisu, tunnocks teacake, wagon wheels, vanilla fudge and some boozey warmth with a bit of dyness towards the end. Full body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Rich and indulgent, but well done for what it is.
