9 ounce at the brewery - dark purple pour - soapy lance - nose of treacle/bread pudding, cherry, mild oxidation, doughy malt - sweet flavor, tempered by a tannic tartness and some mild oak - port qualities are the most prominent Barrel character - raisin, treacle, plum, vanilla, cherry skins - some rum character surfaces at the end, along with some mild spiciness - fairly good British-style example.
