Bottle from the brewery. Poured a clear dark brown with a broken off white head. The aroma is rich and surprisingly alcoholic leading to a strong bitter flavour with a malt alcohol liqourice palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Could do with just a little more alcohol I feel. It needs to burn a little more than it does.

275ml bottle from cgarvieuk - Cheers Craig! Pours very dark brown with a good, tan head. Vanilla and chocolate aromas, dark chocolate, sherry and dark fruit. Taste brings all this together, with a hint of whisky, oak, more chocolate & sherry/rich red wine. Mmm. Full body, creamy and smooth, long finish. Just cracking stuff. Great sipper on a cold night.
