Bottle. Xmas gift from the missus. Clear dark cola brown. Solid tan swede. Looks good. Nose has Turkish Delight chocolate bar. Also Turkish Delight proper. Decent roast malt character. Taste is sweet, unsurprisingly, but there’s a nice malt hop bitterness too. Silky on the palate. Sweet but lightly bitter finish. Good gear that reminds me of North Riding’s pastry affairs but, in the missus’s words, “there’s no cardboard here”.

Bottle. Xmas gift from the missus. 5.6%. Nearly black. Swirly dense slim beige foam. Looks good. Nose has creamy chocolate. Bit of a dark chocolate mousse thing. Nice vinous character. Inevitably there’s a rum and raisin ice cream thing too. Taste is fairly sweet as expected but there’s enough hop bitterness to keep it from being lairy and lactic. Smooth and nicely drinkable overall. Slight bitterness on the finish. Nice one.

hazy brownish dark amber colour, minimal beige-ish white head; aroma of grape juice, leather, soy sauce, and some fruitiness; taste of soy sauce, grape juice, some salty, fruity and spicy alcoholic notes; a "bit" "weak" for this high ABV

Christmas Eve Beers #10. Session style IPA, its texture is quite easy, but body-wise quite full. Hoppy and good-looking.
