Bottle courtesy of Dad, cheers Dad. Had Kedgeree for tea tonight, very nice, listening to Tom Ravenscroft on 6Music with Wednesday 18th November 2020. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Tangy and fruity with a suggestion of red berries, however the described flavours eventually flood through with coconut mushrooms jostling with a little bitter chocolate. Very good indeed.

Bottle at Beer Dock, Crewe. Barrel aged in bourbon barrels. Nose is strongly cocoa, plus alcoholic strength. Pours completely black with a very dark brown transient head. In the mouth the alcohol is to the fore, but there is also cocoa, chocolate and hints of chilli. Finish is boozy with a warming glow ! One for sipping slowly methinks.
