L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a medium brown color and a pretty cloudy consistency. There was a quarter inch of foamy, off white head that quickly dissipated. Not a whole lot of lacing, though.
S: A very good aroma of caramel, malt, dark fruit, and hops.
T: Tasted of a fair amount of malt (present throughout, but a subtle presence), a good shot of caramel (never cloying), a bit of hops (mostly in the finish; not a big factor), and a good amount of dark fruit (dates and raisins, in particular). This is a sharp, focused, complex, and slightly boozy flavor. Quite well-balanced. Tasty stuff.
F: A fair amount of carbonation with a lively finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A well made easy to like beer. Drinkable.

$ 19.62 (Including shipping and PA tax)/22 oz bottle ($ 0.892/oz) from Tavour, Seattle, WA. Reviewed 9/8/19.
“Bottled on 07/11/19” clearly stamped on back of label. Ghost 760. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 56 degrees (per label instructions) in a hand-washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 3.75.
First pour – Medium amber, clear.
Body – Dark amber, opaque center and translucent edge. When held to the light, red-amber and translucent throughout.
Head – Large (Maximum 6.5 cm, aggressive center pour), tan, high density and somewhat fizzy, average duration, diminishing to a three mm crown and a thin partial cap.
Lacing – Poor. An occasional island of tiny bubbles is adhering to the glass.
Aroma – 4 - Strong caramel with a hint of toffee and malt.
Flavor – 3.5 – Begins sweet and caramelly, malty with a bit of date/figiness like a Belgian quad. No alcohol (11% ABV) flavor or aroma, no dimethylsulfide, no diacetyl.
Palate – 3.5 – Full, almost syrupy with a bit of sliminess, soft carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 - Paucity of lacing is mildly upsetting but not totally unexpected for an 11% ABV brew. The sliminess is no doubt due to the abundance of oats (they do call it an OAT wine). The flavor is unremarkable while the nose is remarkable only for its strength. Overall, an average brew at a premium price.
