6th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Very strong porty sweetness with a marochino cherry streak riding along. Sweet a like a liquer! Dangeroulsy drinkable. Slightly hoppy finish and aftertaste. Also some warmth. Sumptuos!

Cask@GBBF2008. Goldeny amber colour with small white head. Aroma is cherry, cookies, alcohol and some almonst with mild notes of honey. Flavour is almost exactly the same with alcohol being quite evident.
