Keg @ Birmingham Beer Bash 2016. Pours clear dark brown. Aroma is rich dark fruits, cocoa, molasses. Taste is hugely satisfying deep fruits, malts, toffee and a well-integrated bourbon presence. Serious stuff. Cannot remember much after this.

Tap at the Birmingham Beer Bash, 2016. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is sweet malt, molasses, rich alcohol, red berry fruit. The flavour is moderate sweet with a sweet, alcoholic bitter, bourbon palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. All the enjoyment is in the aroma. The alcohol takes control after that.

Bottle thanks to Daniel. It pours deep red-brown with a small yellow-white head. The nose is soft, sweet, varnish, permanent marker pen, toffee, toasted brown sugar, wood and booze. The taste is sweet, oily, earthy, booze, big solvent character. varnish, big alcohol punch and some raisin with a hot finish. Medium+ body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. A big rough around the edges, but not all bad.
