Black beer, solid tan head. Smells sweet and boozy with some maltiness in there. Flavour has a good whack of the port barrel. Sweet and boozy with a notable woodiness. Dried fruit in here with chocolate, some coffee , a hint of smoke, some malt, good toasty malt. This is like an old ale on turbo and I love the balance of the smooth rich body and the earthy, fruity notes. Big, rich and boozy.

Bottle via a trade I think. Pours a bit lively. Sits nearly black. Very decent tan foam. Nose has port dregs. Bit of manure. Treacle. Ashy malt. Taste is quite sweet with a vinous dry twang. Smooth overall. Fine brisk carbonation. Twangy finish. That manure thing isn’t great.
