On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - close to black but with beautiful red chinks. Nose - dark chocolate and coffee. Maybe some brambles. Taste - dark chocolate again with a burnt coffee edge on the finish. Vanilla if you look hard enough. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - not sure the vanilla and bourbon were in huge abundance but it’s quite tasty.
