Bottle: Poured a dark burgundy color ale with a large off-white foamy head with light retention. Aroma of sweet dry fruits, with some light chocolate notes and some bourbon/vanilla notes. Taste is a complex mix of chocolate, sweet dry fruits notes, light molasses, some residual sugar notes and some bourbon and vanilla notes. Body is about average with good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Intriguing experiment with great flavours but lacking some cohesion.
