From a 12oz can, undated. Purchased at the brewery 02/29/24. Served in a tulip.
Pours maple syrup-black with chestnut highlights and a half-finger or so of soft foam. The head holds up for a few beats, dying back to a fizzy skiff and a rousable sheet of greasy, slippery lacing.
Nose is thick and fudgy. Maybe I’m getting the faintest hint of orange or maybe it’s my imagination.
Taste is sugary-sweet and fudgy. Like the aroma, maybe I’m teasing out some orange flavour or maybe it’s power of suggestion. Something just a bit sharper and brighter than plain fudge anyway. Dark chocolate, bitter orange rind, demerara sugar.
Feel is dense and sugary but not heavy and syrupy. Medium-thick bodied with gentle, prickly carbonation. No noticeable booziness in either the taste or the mouthfeel. Very drinkable.
Tastes great, less filling. For all that I was throwing around words like ‘thick,’ ‘dense’ and ‘heavy,’ it went down so easy. I totally get the ‘dark chocolate dipt candied orange’ now - I think I was expecting like one of those Terry’s chocolate oranges but, no, it was candied bitter orange peel dipped in dark chocolate. In other words, just what they said, not what my brain thought.
