Black with a wispy beige head. Luxurious dark fruits, pudding, fruitcake spices, raisin, plum, porto, dried fruit, chocolate, sticky sweet caramel. Full, slick body. Finish is long with spice, sticky sweet malts, and sweet chocolate. While rather sweet overall it avoids the fake, cloying sweetness some beers get. Big and bold and well done.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a teku glass. Pitch black, short-lived deep tan creamy head, not much lacing. Aroma roasted malt, red fruit, dark fruits, fortified wine (porto), alcohol, festive spices. Taste light light heavy sweet but not cloying, dark and red fruit, raisins, dark chocolate, fortified wine, booze, treacle, spicy notes. Full-bodied, oily to sticky texture, flat carbonation, very sweet aftertaste, roasty backbone, spices and fortified wine till the end, a real sipper yet less subtle than expected, very good.

Bottle from strait and narrow at home. This is the 2022 vintage. Jet black with a tan head. Aroma and taste are malty cake and spice. Very much like Christmas cake. Slight sweet taste. Boozy body.
