24/2/2022. Bottle sample courtesy of MarkoNm, cheers. Pours dark copper brown with a short lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma is boozy dried fruits, biscuit, malt, golden syrup, bread, toffee, hints of apricot and apple. Super vinous woody notes. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, low carbonation. Complex, evolving aroma. The 16.1% abv delivers quite a harsh alcohol finish and a good dose of heartburn. Aged for two and a half years but still a bit raw. Would love to try another in 10-15 years as definitely one for aging..
