From a 500ml bottle on 27/2/2021 (shared with Butz, 2018 vintage, ABV 11.2%). Pours a deep amber/dark brown with a smallish head. Has a lovely nose featuring toffee, caramel, dark fruit, and Christmas cake, with just a whiff of booze. Tastes pretty much the same as it smells, with a good dash of raw sugar, finishing with a quite sharp spicy finish, again with some bourbon booze in the mix. My only gripe is the mouthfeel, which is a bit thin and lacking in body for a beer of this size. A very solid sipper, if not quite blowing me away.
