Black with a thin, fizzy head. Malty, dark fruits, raisin, PX, chocolate, vanilla, toffee. Medium bodied. Finish is sweet and malty with plenty of booze. Not hot but definite booze. This is a fine beer though much like their others it is t a standout. Needs some work on the body to increase the depth.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Clear copper colour, mid sized head. Leafy, spicy nose. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Biscuity malt, leaves and hay. Long balanced bitter finish.

Black with a deep beige head. Rich chocolate, earthy, oak, sweet caramel, vanilla, red wine depth, cocoa. Full bodied with a lightly dry finish. Might be their best in this “series” cause it has some depth and complexity, which the others lack.

Black with a thin beige head. Sweet boozy profile with some oak, caramel, vanilla. Thin bodied. Lacking quite a bit here, IMO. It’s overly boozy but without reward.
