Bottle on the Eurostar to Brussels as part of my Pre-Wedding Celebrations, thanks to Mr. Bunce. It pours amber, with a foamy white head. The nose is pear drops, sweet pear, melon, perfumed and tinned fruit salad. The taste is sweet syrup, wood, brown sugar, melon, pear, plum, raisin, currant and lots of booze. Medium body, moderate carbonation and syrupy mouth-feel. Far too boozy.
