75cl bottle @ Coracle, Ironbridge. Pours black with a good foamy tan head. Aroma has funky dark malt, some fruity barrel-aging influence. Taste is poky dark funk, dark berry fruit, coal, a touch woody with light sour moments, sherry hints.. interesting haunting quality to this, and infinitely more complex than the original.

750ml bottle between five on 27th Dec 2018 in The Coracle, Ironbridge, Shropshire. Tan coloured head on a black body. The nose and taste were a complex combination of wild fruitiness and coffee/chocolate esters and flavours and blending nicely with a mild wood undertone. Nice!
