Big bottle thanks to Stu. Pours opaque black with a nice thin crema head. The nose has chocolate biscuits with cream and
The taste has liquorice, tar, dark chocolate, cream.
The palate has a rich full body, a big creamy middle section and unfortunately I feel this is far too cloying on the end. It’s imbalanced which is shame.

Appearance: muddy brown with a creamy tan head and syrupy legs. Aroma: caramel, toffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, toast and bourbon. Taste: malty and sweet, with notes of booze, syrup, brown sugar, toffee, caramel, and Dr. Pepper, with strong hoppyness containing pine, resin and earth. Finish: bitter and boozy, with a lingering tingling burn. Notes: 750 bottle, cellared for 1+ years. Could easily be classified as a barleywine. A big, boozy, rich, and sweet beer. Not my favorite.
