A 330ml waxed bottle, bottled on 6th March 2018, and with a best before date of 6th March 2023. Poured into a snifter glass.

Appearance: A deep dark copper amber colour with a thin beige head that sticks around while leaving fine spotty lacing.

Aroma: Marzipan, almond flakes, caramel and alcohol.

Taste: Sweet, marzipan, cherry, almond, caramel, brown sugar, syrupy and boozy.

Mouthfeel: Chewy, full bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: I don’t know, I’m a bit unsure about this one. I’d enjoy one sip and the next sip would be just ok, and I’d keep flipping between the two throughout the whole drink. A strange one for me. After finishing, and much thinking throughout the sipping, I think that the almond was maybe too overpowering, and that it made it taste too pastry like for me.

Really dark amber color with a bit of tan foam. Aroma has intense almond extract, liquor and a bit of wood spiciness. Taste is sweet at first with lots of almond extract, whiskey and gets nutty on the finish with some earthy/woody bitterness. Medium body with low carbonation. The base beer seems quite nice but the almond extract is overpowering.
