Brother Vesper sips his daily ration. Flavors and aromas of plum brandy, jammy wine, cordial cherries, wood spice plus a gentle alcohol tug. Strong? Dark? Stout? Quadrupel? Abt? Can I getta beer-blessed hell yes!

2015 notes:
Fully opaque, definitely dark coloration, with a slim and soon-gone head.
Aroma spills out some sweetness, some cocoa, maybe, a little ...hmmm, not much else. Earthy, malty tones. Some grit, some spice.
Now, to drink: In the mouth, sweetness and bitterness, lots of malt, and....medium body....slight fruitiness. Good balance. A little bit of raisin in there, a little bit of coffee, but ...not much more. I'm not entirely impressed. I want to be. But it's just not working. There's nothing special, there's no joy.
I love beers like this, or like this is supposed to be, and I really want this to be one that I like. It isn't. Eh. Life goes on....

Pours a very dark brown, almost black colour. Smells like vanilla, chocolate malts, toasted grains, a little fruity, raisins, and not much else. Tastes lighter than expected, but has a syrupy finish. Sticky raisins throughout, dates, slight tobacco leaf, juicy pipe tobacco, hearty, a bit of a dry aftertaste.
