Rubbery (lovely). Star anise (I'm not actually sure what that smells like, but I'm going with it because I felt clever). Also lovely. Nail varnish & farty figs. Bananana. Brandy soaked christmas pudding. Goaty. Banana sweets (the sort of foam ones). Like an old wooden chair. Creamy candy (co)ca(i)ne. Figs, caramelised bananas, vanilla, a bit hammy. Ali is wrong. WRONG. Brandy soaked Christmas pudding. Cinnamon and soil (loam). Varnish. Hammmmmm(ish). Grass. Expelled air from a bouncy castle. Like the black sheep on Russell's jumper. Salmon in the air (fishy). Allotments in Autumn, fudge and freesias (flowers).

Tart wood. Wow. Coca cola. Almost coffee-ee. Rich, woody, drrrryyy. Penicillin cheesy mould, with raisins. Hamnanas & rumtanas. Really strong black tea (over-stewed). Rum and coke, coke and rum. Charcoal, caramelised astroblets, stewed raisins and wood. Aniseed with water. Rich, dried figs, fizzy black treacle. Figgy piggy. Dissapointing. Crossed a chili with a rose. Doesn't really taste of much :( Hits you round the face several times with all that dryness. Taste is very different than smell. Molasses and cocoa. Good. Burnt metal.

FIZZAY. Refreshers. Fizzy cola bottles. Mouldy wood. Walnut sideboards - long. Fizznish. Marzipan. Medium. Needs a lot of tongue action to disperse the flavour, and even then it's super long. Citrus tang. Long, dry & sweet. Vacuum of Raisiny dryness.

Nil point for packaging. Over casked? Can't quite decide. Bums. "Know what you mean, debating whether a bottle would be too much." Know what you mean about bums. Haterz gotta hate. Do I want two or three of these? Not sure - but fun. Metal guys are all total douche? Discuss. Pudding? Boozy nuts!! Night time is the right time. "Tru" - 2 Chainz.

~£50 (70cl)
