Bottle split at L42, thanks to Danny, 05/02/18. Rich amber with a decent light beige cap. Nose is stewed fruits, dates, brown sugar melt, toffee, fruit loaf. Taste comprises fruit loaf, light booze, toffee, prunes, dates, brown bread. Full bodied, fine carboantion, semi drying close. Mellow BW ... a trace of age ... no real detriment but lacks depth for the ABV,

Bottle at L42. Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours clear deep amber - brown with a small white head. The aroma is woody, varnish, sticky toffee, caramel, brown bread, fruit ale, grainy and some booze soaked cake. The taste is slick, oily, toffee, caramel, chewy malt, brown bread, warming alcohol, tannin, leather, grainy with a dry finish. Medium - full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth -feel. Not a huge amount of depth. Fine enough.
