Quite complex! A bit nutty, sweet, slight sherry notes, and a nice little bourbon burn. Fun.

Certainly good but naturally less complex than the 2012

330mL bottle, pours black with almost no head. Aroma is quite intense, with a hot, almost perfumey character, medium roast, a touch of molasses, and a touch of port. Flavour is extremely intense, with major port barrel presence, medium roast, booze, and a touch of cocoa. Shows every last percent of this.

Dark brown. No head. Aroma is boozy, phenolic, headsy. On the palate, the port barrel shows through a bit, then there's lots of alcohol, a bit of dark sugars, toffee sort of thing. Raisiny and boozy.

Poured from 330mL bottle (vintage: 18/12/2019; bb 22/03/2022+5yrs). Dark brown with very minimal off white head. Dark fruit, boozy, a bit higher abv than necessary, still enjoyable sipper.

330mL bottle. Pours black with no head. Subdued roast, port barrels, and some booze on the nose. Flavour is has a roasty base, though it's definitely in the background with a lot of booze and port barrels on top. Nice complexity, good base, and very boozy. While it is very nice, it is definitely on the brutal side.

Bottle 2022 vintage, thanks to my bro. It pours clear deep brown with a medium Khaki head. The aroma is bourbon soaked oak, dried fruits, fruit cake, malt loaf, vanilla, vanilla fudge, brown bread, nuttiness, leather and dull cacao. The taste is slick, oily, sour tangy dried frs, raisin, sultana, fig, cherry, fruit cake, malt loaf, bourbon soaked oak, dull vanilla, estery fruits, nuttiness and cacao wig a some warming alcohol though the finish. Fulsome body and moderate carbonation. An interesting combo for sure. Nice depth.

Drucken på fat på Bishops Arms Gustaf. Fin doft men å ena sidan lite platt, avslagen, saftig, dammig och med en lite avig beska å andra sidan värmande alkohol, komplexitet och fina söta nyanser av fat, torkad frukt. Doften lovade mer. Bra men hoppades på ännu mer.
