Bottle at home (brought back by friend from Lake District). I’ve had this some time so I guess it was produced by Appleby themselves before they were taken over. Anyway, pours a dark reddish brown with a transient cream head. Aroma is a nice mix of hazelnuts and burnt bread. In the mouth there is a little bit of fruit before creamy milk chocolate takes over. The fruit comes back as raspberries in the finish. Nice and light – an interesting one.
