Thank you kraddel & tderoeck! Sampled draft @ VCBF 2017. Black, dark mocha only small rim on the sides, looks like the others of the currently released series. Nose is good old flat molasses boozy pancake syrup Black Albert here, sweet sugar, molasses, pretty strong good sweet whisky on top. Taste is dark fruit, harshly alcoholic, heavy sweet whisky mixed with flat molasses syrup, sugar, dark fruit,... Body is flat molasses syrup. Quite heavy whisky. Good but feels closer to modern Black Albert than the old series, I assume that age took away the complexities. Nice but not the heights of yore. Pretty similar ones, hard to note the difference for me, maybe we should have tried really hard? Still good stuff take on its own, not for how much a bottle of this costs.
