Aroma is fruity, floral and sweet malty in a very nice balance.Flavour is sweet malts, quite floral and mild toffeeish notes as well. Quite bodied though my "short rating".

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Entered to celebrate my 9000th Rating. Pours ruby amber with a small creamy head and lacings. Fruitcake and caramel at first. Some port and a fine level of vinousness (already). A bit of vanilla and caramel with a fine fresh hop bitterness in the end. Very nice, though very young. Better than previous years. No question.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bittle from Waitrose. Not had the last two vintages for some reason. Will get them at the Bottle Shop i guess. This is nit the best. Lits of fruit on aroma not much hop. Fruit is good but rest of beer dies. Also the carbonation and mouthfeel is not as good as previous. Good fruit on finish. Fruit salad almost tropical fruits. Not the best vintage and not sure how it will age either. Fruity and lacking something ineffable
