500ml bottle
Appearance: Pours an obscured, very dark brown body. As your pouring the bottle, there's no head formation, so you try to pour a bit more heartily, more aggressively. Still, no head formation. So, you ease back on down for the final few ounces.
Smell: Rich malts, darkened caramel, trickling black treacle and heavily toasted bread with strong fruity tones, a staunch, pervasive earthiness, noted sherry notes with not too many, for me at least, clear and delineated barrel notes.
Taste: A strong, sweet malty presence - oozing dark caramel over darkened toasted with touches of toasted nuts and straight-up dark treacle. An altogether abundant dark fruitiness of macerated raisins, figs. Some oxidative sherry notes present throughout. Not so much a perspicuous barrel-aged quality, really, just some earthy qualities and malt-esque tones that blend within the beer itself, so it just feels like an aged bottle of barleywine, perhaps pulled from the dust-covered shelf of Keith 'kp' Peterson is his secluded Cellar Bar. A light earthiness, a couple drop of molasses. Finishes rather smooth (almost smoove) and sticky with a continued malty sweetness which it came in with, as well as a fair share of excoriating alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Altogether minimal carbonation. Port-like, sticky mouthfeel.
Overall: It's a biggun!
