2014 bottle. Aged very well. Mellowed out and not as sweet but still dangerously easy to drink.

Been sitting just this bottle for a while and finally decided it was time to break it out! It’s really good too! Has some nice fruit notes and a definite alcohol bite! I really like it!

Bottled Jan 2019, purchased Mar 2023. Nose is malt, prune and leather. Slight booze burn on the nose. Sips sweet and boozy. Dark fruit with prunes and raisins. Total malt bomb. Boozy and very well balanced. Reminds of a super strong Scottish ale.

Best beer I think I've ever had. Bought this a single a couple months ago. Shared it with Liz. Can I rate this higher than 5.0? Hope to find it again.

Very boozy but 16.5%ABV so expected but also sweet molasses and raisin notes give it a sweeter flavor.
