Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines way back when. Vintage 2011. Pours clear, amber-ruby with a small, creamy off-white head. Nice aroma, with loads of ripe, aged berries, some oxidation, caramel, figs, faint metal, dates. Medium to heavy sweet flavour, with lots of gooey dates, some earthy bitterness, grape, molasses, fruitcake. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming and lightly sticky on the finish, with lots of brown sugar, molasses, liquefied berries, more dates, figs, touches of burnt wood, grass, earth, more fruitcake, caramelly oxidation. Pretty big, boosty stuff. Has some interesting nuance, but overall it’s a bit too sweet and simple.

Appearance- very dark ruby, almost mahogany, not much light coming through. Half a finger beige head which dissipates slowly. Aroma- dark fruits- cherry, plum, and raisin. Brown sugar, a bit of banana, caramel, port, some booze. Taste- lots of dark fruits, especially cherries. Bitter orange, vinous, a bit of sugary sweetness, alcohol warmth at the end. Relatively short finish. Quite juicy in the mouth, not as full bodied as expected. A little disappointing considering the look and smell, but still nice.

Bottle from Utobeer Stall in Borough Market. Vintage 2011. Pours dark brown with orange hilights and a creamy tan head. Aroma is plummy dark fruit. With a touch of leather. Near full bodied. Flavor is very plummy, with dark malt backdrop, and perhaps a touch of leather. It is finishing towards dry (amazing that) and it’s getting a wood astringency. Not bad for a non-BA! It is a quite brilliant ale. I may put this on my want list!

Bottle from the Hare and Billet, Blackheath. Chestnut brown pour with a quickly diminishing beige head. Raisin, chocolate and raspberry aroma. Rich, warming flavours of molasses, raisins, chocolate and dark fruits. Throat warming. Can feel the alcohol. Long sweet, heavy finish.
