75cl bottle thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - black and mat with a creamy off white head. Nose - milk chocolate, earthy, caramel and dry wood. Taste - creamy chocolate, booze, wood, prunes and blackberries. Palate - medium to full bodied. Boozy and dry, woody finish. Overall - a bit gnarly but a lot going on and very worth struggling with the gnarly edges.

Bottle from the Thirst Class Brewery Webshop. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is liquorice toffee, cola, dark fruits. Taste is dark fruits, whisper of chocolate, bourbon. Boozy sweet. Tries too much to impress. Could've & should've been so much better.

Bottle. Nose is chocolate, hint of vanilla, latte, milk chocolate, light chewy caramel, very light port barrel - i really had to hunt for it. Taste is chocolate, caramel, vanilla ice cream, leading to a dry vinous strongly port finish. The port aging has a very interesting effect, I can't find it in the nose particularly and it's present really only in the finish where it is very pronounced. I can't think of another beer where it barrel aging has created this effect. Good.
