33cl bottle. Poured a darker brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of some earthiness, caramel, some spices, dark fruits, and some candi sugar. Tastes of a lighter earthiness. dark fruits, and caramel.

Deepp dark brown colour. Musty aroma. Low carbonation. Mild aniseed flavour. Overall much too flat and stale tasting.

Bottle [330ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- c/o HogtownHarry. Pours a murky orange-amber with a small diminishing frothy off-white head. Aroma’s quite sweet with brown sugar and fruit along with caramel malt and hints of nuts and spices. Flavour is also pretty sweet and sugary along with dark fruit, caramel malt, toffee and a bit of alcohol. Medium bodied, oily mouthfeel. Not bad, a good beer.

Amber color, white head that clears very fast. Basement aromas, slightly burned wood smell. Strong caramel and honey flavours with a nice bittersweet ending.
