How on earth did a keg of this end up in Scotland? Alabama barely ever makes it to Florida but alas it did and I grabbed a can. Orange pour. Nose is sugary malt and some pine. Tastes of caramel, orange, malt, pine. Bitter and fruity. Straightforward

Keg. It pours deep mahogany brown with a thick light tan head. The aroma is big sweet sugared plums upfront, date, prune, brown sugar, oily, boozy warmth and plum wine. The taste is bitter - sweet, warming, sugared plums, boozy, wood, leather, tannin, toasted brown sugar and dull varnish with a woody and warming finish. Medium to. Full body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Prett fun stuff overall. Reminds of CCG Sugar Plum. Fun.

Keg at BD Leeds. It pours dalrwst brown with a medium light tan head. The aroma is rich, earthy, toasted malts, dark fruits, plenty of fruit cake, oak, toasted nut and some vanilla. The taste is fairy dry, bitter, earthy, leather, warming booze, dried fruits, fruit cake, clootie dumpling no doubt, spice and oak. Full body and fine, foamy carbonation. Works rather well. Robust, flavoursome and well judged balance (aka not too sweet). Nice one.

Average dubbel without faults but also nothing that stands out like basketball players on the subway. Brown pour withbok head. Florals, leather, tobacco. Some tannic astringence in finish and a little sweetness, caramel. Can.
