Cask gravity at GBBF 2015. It pours deep red-amber with a tiny off-white head. The nose is rich, oily, sweet, big boozy boost, rum, stewed fruits, toasted brown sugar, fruit cake and vanilla. The taste is rich, sweet, sticky, chewy malt, oiliness, fruit cake, sugar cane, wood, vanilla and light spice with a surprisingly short finish. Full body, soft carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. I really like the aroma, but this could get a bit cloying after a while. Good fun anyhow.

Sample at GABF 10/03/2014, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Black pour with a medium foamy light brown head that recedes gradually. Patchy lacing. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and malt. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, chocolate and malt. The finish is roasty with a cocoa and coffee aftertaste. Above average overall.
