Draught. Black colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, some alcohol, mild bourbon, vanilla and wood. Flavour is pretty much the same elements as the aroma, but also has a quite big hoppy kick to it. Long slightly boozy sweet aftertaste.

Draught. Black colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, some dried fruits, mild chocolate and some alcohol, wood and mild toffee. Flavour is pretty much the same elements as the aroma but in a rather sweet and smooth way. Nice roasted edge to it.

Flavour is liquorice, some nutty notes, chocolate, toffee and some slight earthy notes. Beautifully balanced. Was told this was a 1 year aged keg. Delicious!
