Bottle at home, picked up from Craft Beer Central.ie, 25/12/2025.
Black topped with a good sized khaki head that dissipates to a healthy swirl over time.
Nose is roast malts, dried fruit rinds, molasses, mellow barrel tones, raisins.
Taste comprises dark malts, modest barrel, chocolate, toffee, dried fruit esters.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, light drying close with a mellow rising boost.
Okay sipper for the price point but overall lacking complexity and barrel presence.
