Cask at GBBF '18, day 4, 10/08/18 thanks to the King of Malmo for the pour! Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent beige covering. Nose is boozey, fruit cake, sweet malts, caramel, light pine dusting. Taste comprises sticky fruits, sweet malts, light spice, liqourice, boozey dance, treacle toffee, light pine. Full bodied, cloying feel, sweet and sticky rising boost in the close with a dusting of hops. Doesn't really come off on cask - a 10% CDA ! Fun enough sipper but a full pour of this one would soon become a chore.
