Bottle @ Goat Major, Cardiff. Reddish brown, not a lot of head but plentiful carbonation. Smells of caramel, navy rum and rotgut whiskey. Taste is unsurprisingly sweet with a caramel cloyingness from start to finish. Tickly mouthfeel. If this is a Dubbel, I’m a lungfish. Enjoyable enough on its own terms. But I will never, ever, ever have this again.

Cask at Haymarket, as The Solution, but seems to be the same beer from the description. Pours brown with a nice off-white head. Aromas are dark fruit and chocolate. Got more chocolate on the taste. Big, rich mouthfeel. Nice.
