Bottled 9-12-18. Thanks Adam Chandler on the share. Aroma is nice ride whiskey, chocolate, light coffee. Flavor follows with a nice coffee backbone. Yet if falls a tad flat in flavor. Oily mouthfeel but the alcohol is hidden. It is ok.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the brewery. Pours quite soupy yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Nice dank sauce, plenty of pureed tropical fruits, melon, nectarine, soft bitterness, a little alcohol. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Just a nip of boozy warmth in the finish, some pale bready sugars, pulpy orange juice, mango, papaya. Solid.

Growler shared in NH - picked up at the brewery. Pours oily black-brown it's a a frothy, tan cap. Nicely rounded, with smooth chocolate notes, roast, some dark berries, toasted brown bread. Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, lightly warming, some mellow ashy bitterness, smooth cocoa. Solid.
