Sep 3, 2003 New bottle Best By 31/12/03, I am holding off on rating one of my vintage bottles. Dark brown wit a hint of orange on the edges. Somewhat wispy looking light tan head. Heavy sweet malts with undertones of brown sugar and actually a touch of hops. Rich, yet somewhat bubbly in feel. Fruit cake with a touch of dark chocolate, warmed and soaked in a rick dark rum. Warming and lingering finish with malt and bitter nut flavor. As a side note my bottle lists an ABV of 9.2% - quite near the one of yore. Also see they are using a hop extract, that would explain the additional spiciness.

Jul 2, 2006 Bottled. A very dark brown coloured beer with a minimal short-lived head. The aroma is thick and heavy on the alcohol. Sweet caramel and soy sauce tickle the nose. The taste is thick and warming. Woody and licquorice. Tons of malt and tons of alcohol, yet very smooth and very drinkable. This is sheer quality and even though you know it’s high strength and it tastes that way in the mouth, it really is quaffable and very moreish.
