330ml bottle online from the brewery, Pours opaque very dark brown with a cream coloured head. Aroma: caramel, molasses, candy sugar, alcohol. Taste: moderate sweet, heavy malty, caramel, liquorice, light spices, all dominated by big boozy notes. Medium to heavy body, soft carb, semi dry close. Not sure why I hung on to this for so long, it's not very drinkable, much too boozy

Very oxidised loads of cedar; very thin and not very enjoyable.
