375ml bottle picked up from the brewery and shared - clear dark ruby a starts with a slight lace that completely dissipates quickly - quite melllow and balanced for the strength (though very warming in the finish) - very British in expression, with earthy malts, treacle, caramelized sugars, dark fruit, brined cherry - finish is long and warming, with lingering dark fruit is bread pudding - they usually don’t do great with this style, but this is an exception.
