Can thanks to Grant. Appearance - deep brown to black with a foamy, beige, head. Nose - the plum is up front, then soft chocolate and coffee with wood spice. Taste - the spice is more obvious at the front of the palate, probably more nutmeg than the star anise and cinnamon mentioned. Then the plum followed by a sweet caramel and light chocolate. Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy texture, slightly dry finish. Overall - ok. A lot of flavour despite low ABV.
