Bottle from HoTM. It pours oily jet black with a small brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, umami, liquorice, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, burnt toast, molasses, rocky road, whisky soaked oak, savoury and saline notes. The taste is slick, oily, thick, chewy, dark roasted malt, toasty, bitter - sweet character, fruitier than on the aroma, jammy fruits, bramble, tangy raspberry, dark chocolate, treacle, whisky soaked oak, slightly charred Dundee cake, warming booze and toasty brown sugars with a smooth whisky soaked fruit cake finale. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Flavourful, rounded and unctuous.

Bottle at CBJ tasting, thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown black beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Good earthy dark chocolate malts. Decent fruity whiskey, peaty but not annoyingly so. Airy finish. Not bad.
