50cl bottle pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin light tan ring of foam. The aroma offers up thick syrupy malts punctuated by nutty coconut, dates and then plum to sherry like brandy notes. Another pull appears to reveal molasses drizzled graham crackers steep in booze. Nice. The taste delivers smooth slick rich thick sweet malts flowing into growing sweet molasses covered coconut. To midway plum to fig to date like sweet dark fruity esters gludge their way to the surface with a modest boozy brandy booziness in tow. Additional sips uncover lower levels of chocolate and maybe fudge mostly coming into view with the aid of plenty of near savory reduced sugar notes. Wow. Great sipper.

Dark brown, rich figgy, prune, date, all those fruits with a pekmez glaze, soft body, supple sugars and some alcohol in the finish. Excellent.

On tap at Bottle Logic, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is rich, with plenty of brandy barrels, dark dried fruits, and a touch of coconut. Flavour is remarkably complex, with rich coconut and brandy barrels upfront, supported by a base of dark dried fruits, caramel and brown sugar. Balanced yet obviously sweet, with splendid barrel aging that showcases the brandy beautifully. Lovely.
