Bottle at the ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Toby for sharing one. Pours cloudy brown with a fine, tan cream head. Spicy and burnt woody aroma. Medium sweet flavor with tangy, dark wood, some berries, cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish with more tangy wood, dark malts. Some vinoous texture. Good stuff. One that I look forward to trying again in the future.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Black pour with a light tan head. Smoke, wood, dark chocolate and vanilla aroma. Smoky-malt flavour with a nice compliment of raisins, dark chocolate and licorice. Very dry indeed. Dry-roast malt finish. One to savour.
