Bottle share @ Hanson's, thanks Gregg. Deep dark pour, super high viscosity, flows visibly slow and no carbonation there. Nose has peat, some chocolate and boozy leather. Tastes boozy thick and with some spices. Mix of liquid chocolate and molasses. Barrel character quite strong, spirits there for sure. Bitterness edging on booze and light whiskey glow in the finish. Nice but kinda heavy.

23rd June 2018; Cotteridge gathering, shared bottle. Intense stuff this. Tanned foam on a black body. Chocolate comes through loud and clear along with some Bourbon notes, nice alcohol kick in there too. Very drinkable.
