12 ounce can - $3.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a very dark brown body with a can gusher of a head, quickly enveloping the top of the glass. Hm.
Smell: Roast cloaked in licorice, molasses and sweet-scented, slow-pouring dark syrup. Drunken fruit compote generously spritzed with a little vinous liquor.
Taste: Flush with dark, roasty malts serving up molasses, snappy licorice twists, dense black bread (like the dooky loaf served at your local Outback Steakhouse) with a fair degree of syrup sweetness. Its fruit additions and port and brandy make a rather heavy fruitiness and a more than moderate alcohol character. With the fine line between a bit too much and too little, they leaned toward the former, as it turns a bit medicinal nearing the rather warming finish, with some lingering twangy tartness, peppery alcohol heat.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Fairly high carbonation, a bit gassy.
Overall: The lively, gushing from the pop of the can's tab has me wondering if there's some refermentation going on in the can. Unfortunately, the dating machinery smeared the date on the bottom of the can, so I'm not sure how long it's been chilling in the aluminum.
