330ml bottle. Pours dark brown. Cinnamon, nutmeg, little clove, lots of toffee, biscuit. Medium body. Bit dull.
Bottle. Deep brown, some chunks, a beige head settles to a coat. Not the prettiest. Aroma of chocolate, prunes, mace, treacle. Full-bodied, smooth, carbonation could be a tad higher. Sweet with singed sugars, prunes, brandy. Very rich, but the sweetness doesn’t hang around - spices (cloves, mace) pumpkin seeds and citrus rind lift things away and bitterness creeps up. An attempt at a Pannepotish beer? Good stuff, may improve.
