Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit as well as lighter notes of fruit and cloves. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Big thanks to Gunhaver for sharing this 2006 vintage. Wow, the British take a moment or two away from churning out bitter to produce a mindnumbing brix brashing beer. Cheers! Pours deep darkness with no head. The aroma has rich chocolate and fudge brownie mixing with oak and a modest sense of booze. Smells like “yum” to me. The taste is rich chocolate and creamy moist fudge brownie moving into notes of caramel and sweet malts which culminates in a bit of booze. The booze helps dry it out some into the finish. Awesome brew.

27,5cl Bottle. Trade with Fonefan. Pours pitch black with a small bubbly head that quickly disappears. Nose is so yummi that I hardly can descibe it. Complex and deep. Dark roasted coffee, bourbon, oak, chocolate, vanilla. Smooth and soft palate. A bit of soy. Low carbonation. Slick and oily. The alcohol is very well hidden and integrated. A big beer!
