2012 vintage pouring for Albuquerque Beer Week 2015.

Served at the brewery in a ten ounce shake glass.

Thin khaki head over a cloudy amber and raisin-colored body. 4.25

Smells port-like, raisin-y and caramel-heavy. Sweetness prevails. 4.25

My oh my this is good. Thick flavors abound. Raisin, caramel, tobacco, and leather. A faint tart fruit flavor. Toffee is there too. Such a wealth of great flavors here. 4.5

Though sweet, it's not offensive and the thick mouthfeel is so chewy you probably wouldn't mind it sweeter. There's an earthy, grassy hopfeel and a bit of oxidization that just add to the flavor and feel. 4.25

This beer is drinking awesome. So good.
