330ml bottle from Beerhive. Pours jet black, thin, persistent tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, whisky, wood, tar, burnt raisins. Taste is woody, oaky, booze notes, whisky, soy sauce. Oily texture, boozy, but not too heavy. Nice.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance -deep opaque black with a lovely crema head. Nose - very rich chocolate. Then booze and a dry malt biscuit thing. . Taste - chocolate but booze prominent. Wood notes too. Dry biscuit again. Palate - medium to full bodied with a creamy texture and a big rich boozy finish. Overall - very tasty but booze a little prominent. Rough at the edges. Might improve in the bottle.

On cask at the sraf. Close to opaque black with a nice crema head. Dark chocolate and booze. Rich dark chocolate with a coconut underbelly. Big tar finish. It’s not elegant but there is beauty.
