375ml bottle, 2016 vintage. Caramel malt aroma with notes of toffee, dark fruit, brown sugar, molasses and licorice. Pours deep toffee brown with a thin tan head that has little retention and very little lacing. Starts with caramel, molasses and licorice flavors as well as having a rich, full body and syrupy mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with toffee, dark fruit and brown sugar flavors. Excellent, but quite sweet.
