From a 375 ml bottle to a chalice.
A-The beer is dark, dark amber in color; nearly opaque. I can see some carbonation in the liquid, but the retention is short. Foam starts at almost a finger tall, but fades quickly to collar of grey-tan bubbles.
S-I like this aroma! It is very sweet with nice dark-fruit flavors like plum, prune, raisin (and golden raisin) and date. There are some good rum barrel notes too like brown sugar, oak, and a hint of spice. The rum flavors play nicely with the dark fruit in the beer. I detect just a hint of medicinal alcohol and some heat.
T-The taste is more on the caramel, burnt sugar and molasses side of the sweetness spectrum. There are still some fruit and barrel notes that add nice layers of complexity and flavor. Lots of sweetness (too much for some palates, I suspect). The medicinal notes are more pronounced here than on the smell.
M-The feel is a touch thin and watery for the style. Carbonation is pretty mellow.
O-This is a tasty beer. It definitely satisfies the sweet tooth in me. At times it reminds me of a BA barleywine or an eisbock with the malty fruit, but the feel is a touch thin. Feel notwithstanding, I like this a lot more than regular One Great City and may pick up another bottle if I see one laying around.
