3.6/5  rDev -8.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Taken from my limited notes almost a year ago.

Pours a copper color leaning more toward the brown end, good size head with some lacing.

Smell is quite sweet with much going on, caramel, hints of honey and vanilla, cherry.

The taste has an evident alcohol feel that isn't completely masked by the caramel or malt or the many other additives, bit buttery and syrupy. If the alcohol burn was better concealed, this may have been much better.

Just bad.
Sweet like candy and almost medicinal.
Syrupy, low carbonation and a low alcohol burn.
reddish brown color and a really nice looking beer.
This was like a badly balanced barley wine beer.
