Vintage 2012. Moderate sweetness, nice well toasted malts, earth, dried berries, a little leather. Limited oxidation. A little toasted toffee and caramel vibe. Solid overall.

Bottle split at the CBJ tasting, thanks to LKS, 13/03/2025.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a khaki cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is dark malts, brown bread, toffee, dried fruit rinds.
Taste comprises dates, cocoa powder, fruit esters, oxidisation setting in.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close.
Passable ... unsurprisingly a bit bollocksed.

Lightly hazy yellow pour with a one finger head. It has a pleasant tropical fruit aroma. The flavor is mildly tart and quite fruity with orange, grapefruit, and pineapple. It’s malty and while I can tell it has more alcohol than many fruited sours that are often just 4 or 5%, I’d not have guessed 9%. Tasty.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy orange pour, with a medium white head. Blast of what seems to be artificial tropical fruit notes, with a whack of candied citrus peel, and a very pithy, overpowering bitterness. Boozy, warming, alcohol dipped fruit, zest citrus rind.....this is all over the place, and not very good at all.

Smells of berries and maybe that's the mango I'm smelling with it. The flavor is mildly tart. It's fruity enough. For me it seems like the berries and mango don't go together super well here. It's alright though.

Draft. Very dark, almost black with not much head. Aroma is fruity with a bourbon barrel tinge. Taste is like a chocolate covered cherry.
