Bottle. Shared with Andrew. Pours inky black, minimal head or lacing. Aroma is strong, molasses, hints of anise, dates, vanilla, cocoa, bourbon, tobacco. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Full body. Too much anise for me, but still good of course.

Bottle split at the farewell to Monica tasting, Watford, thanks to the Wingmane 20/09/24. Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to the edge. Nose is fruit cake mix, rummy notes, booze, toffee, dark malts, molasses, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises chocolate, spice, figs, toffee fudge, dark malts, bourbon, spice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced spike of alcohol. Solid quaffable barley wine ... sips easy whilst maintaining a good depth of flavour.
