Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Nearly black. Nicely thick soppy lasting beige foam. Nose has sweet pudding although I’m not convinced cloves, of which this has plenty, is any part of a sticky toffee pudding. Whatever. It’s a bit overwhelming. Taste is fairly sweet with a decent amount of vine fruit and roast malt bitterness. Drinks well, barring the clove thing. Light bitter finish.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines, I think. Clear very dark brown. Thick and soppy lasting semi lacing pale tan foam. Looks boss. Nose has Biscoff biscuit but it’s nicely understated and not too sickly as it could have been. Decent lightly fruity ashy malt notes. Taste is fairly sweet up front with a light vinous roast malt bitterness. Smooth with good depth of flavour. Light bitter finish. Best Abbeydale bev in a good while.
