Blind-tasted except for the beer's name/ABV% and brewery/country.
L- 'Deep-Coke' that black yet ruby colour. Clear,1/2mm tan head unsure if it wishes to exist. ps@+15mins later, it actually holds up ok for a beer of this ABV, it has a 3mm ring of foam around the edge - good job.
S- Savage. Whisky, massive whisky, then kinda plum pudding brandy notes.
T- Ohhhh. Deep and slow. Spiral down into British Xmas pudding. Add liquor splashed over, a paddling pool of excitement for the palate. Is that a whisky tang? Poophff the ABV% is naked yet indeterminate - I like it none the less.
F- Oh my God. Ha ha ha....
O- For a beer that still has an ABV% within the realm of reason, a couple of sips of this is like being transported off to another planet. I don't know how that works but by God it does.

Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the bottle lables to see what I missed! --> Aged in bourbon barrels. Interesting to try and impressive, I suppose, but waaay too expensive to buy again at the price.
330ml bottle BB: 1/2/2026 £11.50 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.
