Bottle @Craig’s (Abstrakt tasting). Pours dark amber, almost sherry in colour. Nose is raisins, fruits, some sherry, slight petrol on the nose as well. Very little taste, needed some carb which had all gone, slightly odd nail polish remover taste to it.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Lumpy amber pour with no head. Sherry-like aromas. Boozy, bit of cardboard. Taste is more of the same. Thin finish. Glad to have tried.

Bottle shared at the Commons, from a lucky dip on reluctant scoopers charity draw, 09/11/14 #1847/3200. Hazed orange amber with moderate off white spotting and edgeing. Nose is dark fruit rinds, dates, earthy, woody, bitter citric notes. Taste comprises mellow fruits, dark toffee, vanilla, spice, raisens, prunes. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light alcohol. Ok quad, fairly mellow and easy drinking but no game changer. Perhaps hasn’t aged well ? Not bad - just nothing too exciting.
