Bouteille 341ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur brune-rouge et claire. Nez fruité (prune, léger de raisins et de cerises noires), malté de caramel toffee aux notes rôties avec des effluves d’alcool, de chocolat et de réglisse noire. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement léger ainsi qu’une texture aux notes sirupeuses. Goût fruité (raisins, notes de prunes) avec des notes de réglisse noire lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de caramel toffee sucré, légèrement rôti et aux notes brûlées avec des traces de mélasse terreuses puis en finale l’on retrouve une chaleur d’alcool qui dégage des notes vineuses avec de faibles traces de chocolat noir. Post-goût moyen-long, légèrement amer de rôti très doux et d’alcool avec des notes fruitées(prunes et raisins).

Deep brown pour. Aroma is fruity with caramel, brown sugar. Full bodied, lots of flavour. Syrupy, almost. Some nuts, dark fruits, and caramel in the body. Flavour is quite sweet, but a nice clash between the booze and the sweetness makes for a good finish.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Deep rich brown colour with minimal beige head. Strong dark fruit nose (plum, raisins). Sweet dark fruit flavour with brown sugar and some alcohol kick to it.

Dark brown/maroon pour with creamy head and bubbles. Principal aromas of treacle, raisin, brown sugar, chocolate. Sweet, but doesn’t get cloying. Medium-thick, syrupy mouthfeel. Alcohol is totally hidden.

Marron foncé avec un nez de malt et caramel. Un goût de malt, un peu de sucre comme des fruits sechées.

pours dark cola brown, minimal head, thin creamy retention. Strong caramel malts on the nose. Drinks with a silky creamy mouthfeel, notes of chocolate, malts, coffee, 8/10-sweetness, tingliness in the mids, slight nuttiness and brandy sweetness in the finish. Medium complexity, med-high depth, good carry, good depth, good drinkability. Solid and smooth.

Bottle-coloured with a dusting of beige bubbly head. Port aroma of dark fruits with caramel, maple and a slight smokiness along with strong boozy background. Rich medium sweetness plays up a complex and flavourful body. Medium-bodied but sticky, like syrup. Mild carbonation and a long, rewarding, tasty finish. A perennial favourite -- it’s even possible I ranked this lower than it deserves because my expectations were through the roof.

Bottle thanks to Lortsker (I think) . Pours darker brown with a beige head.Aroma of milk chocolate, hazelnut, pretty mellow with vanilla and darker sweet fruits. Taste is kinda milk chocolate, sweeter malts, darker sweet fruits and some liquorce. A bit sweet but pretty nice anyhow.

Bottle, pours deep amber, aroma: sweet toffee, caramel, hazelnuts, Malty sweet, milk chocolate, sweet liquorice, heavy malty, dried fruits, some red berries, taste follows through, dusty, slight roasted bitterness, like a sweet stout in taste.

Bottle with tomthompson, toffee colored pour, rich malty aroma, toffee notes, light dried dark fruits. Raisins . Somewhat boozy. Decent
