Pours murky mahogany into a trappist glass. Fig, date and earthy sourdough aromas. Sweet with molasses and date upfront turning to fig newton before the lasting earthy anise and bark finish.

Bottle at home on 11th December 2022, received as gift. Pours hazy dark brown with minimal tan foam and spot lacing. Rich, pungent, spicy aroma. Spicy and malty in-mouth with burnt toffee, nuttiness and smoky spices. A bittersweet finish with lingering smokiness. Full bodied with an engaging texture. Superb.

11.2oz bottle. Unfiltered, chunky, thick brown body. Thin, oily, beige head. Tastes like an Old Ale to me, approaching English Barleywine but a lot more mellow, restrained. Dark fruits under some nice caramel, light chocolate malt tones. Great flavor. Easy, low carbonation, suitable for a UK beer I suppose. Good.
