Bottle split at the Level Six tasting, thanks to LKS, 22/03/23. Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to the edge. Nose is dark malts, dusty fruit rinds, earthy, vinous, toffee. Taste comprises stewed fruits, oxidised nip, toffee, earthy, damp oak. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad for the age.

Canary Wharf bottleshare. Thanks to LKS. Clear deep brown beer, a few tan bubbles. Smooth palate, zero carbonation. Oxidised tasting malts, some caramel, thin creamy malts. Some ripe fruits. Light semi dry finish. Not bad all things considered.

Bottle shared in a conference. Picked up from GBBF probably. Pours clear red-brown with no head. Medium sweet flavour, some tobacco, burnt honey, light oxidation, cardboard from the attic. Medium bodied, oily, soft. Bitter finish, toasted hay, old honey. So so.
