Simcoe hops for structure, brewed with darkly roasted & whisky malts. Notes of raisin, fig and dark fruit with slight malty sweetness. For seasoned and adventurous palates. Strong, sturdy and warming.

Taster at brewery. Dark brown pour, ring of head. Malty aroma, notes of chocolate. Taste is malty, chocolate, root beer, sweet, with alcohol appearing at the back. Glowing warmth.

5 oz mini-snifter pour at the brewery. Pours dark brown with a large, rocky head. Aroma and flavor feature sweet dark fruit (fig, raisin), coffee, chocolate malt, dark bitter malt, and a hint of citrusy/earthy hops. Complex, not super boozy (for the abv), and sweet but not cloying. Sticky, syrupy mouthfeel - appropriate for the style. Overall it's an interesting and solid beer, if not something I'd want to drink in quantity.
