Bottle shared during RBWG 2016 - huge thanks to PHale. Pours oily black-brown with a frothy khaki head. Ashy roast in the nose, torched wood, iodine, dried dark berries. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with some prominent woody notes, baking cocoa, roast, cherry, raspberry. Full bodied, a little oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, with some dark fruits, berries, chocolate. Good stuff. Interesting barrel character. Opens up nicely.
