Bottle from Beer Merchants. It pours clear very deep brown with a bubbly white head.

The taste is smooth, slick, bitter - sweet, vanilla fudge, toffee, toasted coconut, so much bourbon it, rich and warming, plenty of dried fruits, raisin, sultana, dried fig, toasted fruit cake, Scottish black bun, pleasing booze, malt loaf and some nuttiness with a slick and warming finale. Fulsome body and fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Lovely depth of flavour and balance. Moreish.
