Bottle # 371 at home, 28th May 16. Pours an elegant dark brown black. Aroma is slight barrel, vanilla, liquor. Taste is so smooth and so well integrated, barrel, bourbon, vanilla, slight liquorice, decadent and so well crafted, drinks so easy for the 11.2. Pleased I have more of this.

On tap at Nettle & Rye, Bristol 16/2/2016. Hazy and deep brown, with a decent, off-white, head. Orange fruits, red berries, caramel, a touch of toastiness, before a dryish finish with a hint of pine. Good.
