Bottle from Fountainhall Wines. It pours darkest brown to black with a quickly dissipating tan head. The aroma is rich and unctuous, oily, toasted coconut, cookie dough, vanilla oak, bourbon biscuits, amaretti biscuits, dried fruits, florentines and chocolate donuts. The taste is dry and toothy, sticky, toasty malt, vanilla, toasted coconut, vanilla, cake frosting, bourbon, oak, dried fruits, warming alcohol, touch of spice, chocolate and nut with a dry, bitter - sweet toasty finish. Medium-full body and fine carbonation. Tasty and moreish. Balanced and very drinkable. One of the best drygate beers I've had in some time.
