Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 15th December 2024. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: Clear dark brown in colour with a copper tinge, and a two finger tanned head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass, while leaving sparse lacing.
Aroma: Dark fruit, raisins, cherry, chocolate, light roast, with notes of caramel.
Taste: Lightly sweet, dark fruit, raisins, dates, cherry, light roasty bitterness, chocolate, with a sweetish toffee finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Drinks really easy with good flavours. Doesn’t seem like 10% abv at all.
