9/11/2025. Bottle bought direct from the brewery. Lovely pour, dark ruby brown with a lasting off-white to beige head. Aroma is dark malts, slightly smoky, plummy, dark fruits, dried fruits. Very fruity taste, fairly sweet, slightly ashy. Hint of liquorice. Good body, average carbonation. Very decent dark ale.
