Leighton Profile

Oooh, that’s very tasty. Really does bring to mind an apple crumble cake. Sweet, quite sweet, perhaps not quite cloying. Nips of cinnamon and dry caramel. Toasted malts. Stewed apples. Cake, crumble, cinnamon. Some creamy vanilla. Warming finish, sweet, lightly sticky. Great fun overall. A very nice small-dose sipper.

Rich dark malt character, some burnt toffee, a little biscuit, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, faint bourbon, fudge. Decent body, not too hot. Drinks pretty well overall. Not cloying, which is nice. A whisper of smoke.

Properly punchy stuff. Loads of warmth in the throat. General dark malt character, ample toasted herbs, maybe orange peel. Berries, toffee, cinnamon. Fun novelty. Hot finish. Serious warmer.

Basic gear, not especially vibrant but perfectly drinkable, especially given the ABV. Had some citrus peel, pale bread, hints of bitter pine needles. Drinks fine.
