Had one at the pub last night. Going to try the 16 later today.
Pours a murky brown with an enormous fluffy tan head.
Aroma is of dark fruits and spices. Peppery with a big malt aroma.
Flavor begins kind of sweet with the dark fruits and chocolate but quickly changes gears with peppery, herbal funkiness followed by a firm bitterness at the end. Very interesting. Quite a bit of alchohol warmth. (I know for a fact it is there because it did me in) Enjoyable beverage.
I would like to taste this a few years from now and see how it ages. Flavors came off a little harsh especialy the alchohol and pepper. I still enjoyed it and will try it again soon.
