Gorgeous stuff. Quite a strong ale with a very smooth finish. Hints of toffee and hops on the smell front. Taste is rich and smooth hops with a slight metallic twang which disappears after the second gulp. Not too gassy. Goes great with a bit of Emmental cheese. Top ale! One of my faves.

[500ml bottle, The Bottle, York] Dark, chestnut brown pour from a clear glass bottle. Fruity chocolate aromas, with some sherry or rum notes. Raisins and chocolate on the palate with a touch of caramel sweetness. On the finish reminiscent of fruit cake, with that slight rum/sherry note as well [29052009]
