Comments: 

One of the new official Ledaigs, with a port pipe finish. I found it intensely salty, chocolatey and meaty, robust and mouth-filling. With water, it softened, still salty and redolent of seaweed, but the meatiness dissolved into citrus and rhubarb and custard. Very good indeed.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
