Dark beer, thin off white head. Smells of spirits and dried fruit. Flavour has dried fruit again, rum, malt, some chocolate. Lots of boozy warmth in the finish. Very decent, very punchy.

26/2/2022. Bottle shared with the ITFC boys at the Morecambe tasting. From 10 Beer Bottles, Wivenhoe. Pours almost black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, dark fruits and berries. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Medium body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Enjoyable
