Leighton Profile

Great fun. Loads of rich piney resin, licorice, gooey citrus peel. Really well balanced. Lightly toasted malts, candied orange rind. Star anise. Mild boozy note. A nip of earth. What a treat to try. Super stuff.

Can shared at BMT during Celly Drippins night. This is serious gear. Rich semi-dark mats, stewed fruits, toffee, bourbon, hearty fruit character, moderate booze, a nip of brown sugar, rum, wood, earth. Dangerously drinkable. Super smooth. Absolutely outstanding.

Pretty enjoyable, pretty punchy, notes of berries, lightly toasted malts, low bitterness. Soft earthy-leafy hop, grape, a little golden raisins, maybe rum. Warming finish. Rather drinkable but a small pour is sufficient.

Decent enough bitter. A little on the sweetness side, some subdued leafy hops, berries, a lick of caramel malts. Easygoing if simple. Had at the Golden Fleece in the City.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8.5 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8

Typically solid dark sauce from Bottle Logic. Notes of rich dark fruits, raisins, dates, chocolate cake, soft roast, marshmallows, rocky road fudge. Sweet but not quite cloying. Impressively drinkable given the heft.
