Tasted at the taproom as part of a sampler flight.
L - Dark brown with some red. Hazy enough that I couldn’t see through it. Moderate off-white head persists around the edges.
S - Sweet raisin aromas, maybe some molasses adds complexity, but the impression is sweet. Light cherry note.
T - Very sweet flavors of cherries, raisin and prunes. Brown sugar.
F - Heavy body and gentle carbonation are spot on for style. Moderate hops bitterness keeps it from being excessively syrupy. Strong, warming alcohol.
O - Very sweet, even for the style. This is a style that I love, but this one is too cloying even for me.
