Can from the Caledonian Craft Beer Merchant Dunfermline. It pours clear deep red - brown with handsome yellow - tan head. The aroma is intoxicating & heady notes of rum, dark fruits, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasted brown sugars, rum soaked oak, toasted brown bread, vanilla and splash of cola. The taste is beautiful.... bitter - sweet, deep maltage, toasted brown bread, touch of umami, fruit cake, cinnamon bun, sticky bun, big rum hit, rum soaked oak, warming booze, raisin, sultana, dates, candied citrus, toasted nut, cola and vanilla with a tannic, dry rum soaked oak finish. Medium - fulsome body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Lovely base beer beer and big character intertwined. Strikes a really nice bitter - sweet balance. Good depth and someone great drinkability. Lovely.
