Can from Vintage Wines. Yeah, a can.

Pours deep reddish-brown with a two-finger beige head. Aroma of thick toffee, caramel, and peaty smoke. The flavor is mostly sweet, with that smokiness coming in toward the middle The end is peaty and alcoholic. A tad too sweet, but otherwise excellent; more smoky and less caramel-ish malt flavors would make it incredible. Cloyingly creamy mouthfeel.

Rating: 3.6 out of 5
