Bass P2

Dark brown with medium beige head. Sweet vinious with caramel, roasted malt, ripe fruits and toffee notes. Ends with warming alcohol.

(Draught from mini-keg) Pours black. The aroma is medium roasted and light burned with tones of dark chocolate, coffee, dark bread, dark syrup and brown sugar. Light sour and vinous with notes of blue grapes and dark fruits like raisins. The flavour is medium roasted with tones of dark chocolate, light caramel, sour coffee and light sour dark bread alongside vinous notes of dark, blue grapes. Some alcohol warmth in both the aroma and flavour. The mouthfeel is light tart, salty and dry. Light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Medium bodied.

Hand bottle (thanks Larry!). Poured a dark brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, light chocolate, raisins, roast and licorice. Tastes of dark fruits, lightly woody, chocolate, roast, and caramel. Body a tad on the thinner side.

Bottled from minicask. Dark brown with slight white head. Heavy roastiness in this with charred coffee husk notes, bonfire and rich malts. Quite smooth and treacley sweet with a touch of pine resin in the body. The alcohol seems slightly more pronounced than in the No. 1, giving a bit of a christmas pud finish. A sipper.
