Bottle, 13C. Cloudy darkish amber with an off-white head - looks pretty like normal Hightail. Aroma of caramel, bread, prunes, flowers, pear drops, vague citrus. Mouthfeel creamy verging on syrupy. Very sweet before firm bitterness. Raisins, figs, brandy, toffee, spices. Boozy but not raw. Sweetness doesn’t linger too long and there’s pepper at the bitter finish. Pleasant with some depth to the malt flavours, but a bit untidy. Maybe it’ll come together with a little age.
