Thanks to Eldest Niece for supplying me with this fine ale, it is made from 2 distinct brews – Old 5X (two years in the barrel and abv of 12%) and BPA (an abv of 5% and less than a year old) – which gives rise to an interesting drop.
It is a dark brown colour with a fine head, smells a bit malty and that comes through on the taste along with oak flavours and a touch of caramel. Coming in at 6% abv it is not a beer for a session but it is a taste of Olde Englande and is well worth the effort.
And for anyone reading earlier, miracles did not arrive and I was still awake at 05:00 on New Years Day – grand night though!

That sounds like a heavy drink.
I miss having all-nighters with friends...hanging out and having fun. One new year we drove to the beach to watch the sun rise. It was really cold, but very beautiful.
your blog is very good......
rt, I could have watched the sun come up this year - if I had lasted for another hour and a half! Know what you mean.
