Bottle shared at RBWG! Pours a dark brown from the bottle with thin tan head and light lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, sweet vanilla, molasses, and a hint of dark chocolate. Taste follows, big and complex, but not the best balance. Good stuff.

26th April 2012
Opaque brown beer, very thin tan head. Slightly viscous palate with very fine carbonation. Smooth dark malt with a little coffee underneath. Traces of wood and whisky. Unusual zingy fruits on top. Touch of mango and sherbet. Whisper of esters before a return to the dark malt minerals. Unusual. Enjoyed it.
