Review and Tasting

Sampled on 12/11/2011

Appearance:

Clear, dark tawny brown.

Aroma:

Fairly pungent stewed fruit, cloves, varnish and molasses nose with caramel, vanilla, oily coffee beans and faint mushroom aromas.

Taste:

Medium bodied with warm clove spice, delicate oak, banana cake and dried fruit (apricot and plums) with sweet vanilla, mocha coffee and slight mushroom notes.

Aftertaste:

Dark berry fruit flavours emerge in the bitter chocolate, mocha coffee and slightly burnt Christmas pudding finish with light cinnamon and tingling cracked black pepper spice.
