Alcohol, plums, sherry, toasted malts and a touch of corn in the aroma. Clear deep brown body is topped by a low off white, fine bubbled head that recedes to a thin partial cover. Very sweet and almost syrupy flavour with bread and dried fruit flavours in the aftertaste. Some corn is also notable. Medium body with low to fair carbonation. Bottle sampled at Oakes’ Xmas tasting 2007.
