Bottle picked up in Maine a few weeks ago, no date
Pours a light fizzy head with lower retention, a touch of lacing, hazy mahogany brown color
Nose brings sweet aromas of candi sugar, brown sugar, toffee, perfumey alcohol and phenols, a bit of candied dark fruits like candied plum and fig or date, a bit of chocolate caramel candies, spicy phenols and maybe spicy rye
Taste brings more of everything, sweet flavors up front, caramel toffee, candi sugar, a bit of milk chocolate caramel candies again, spicy rye and general spicy phenols, with a bit of perfumey alcohol again, a bit of grain and sugar cookie into a little malted milk ball, more of the candied fruits with plum and date or fig candy bar, finishes sticky and semi sweet, a bit more alcohol warmth, quite spicy lingering
Mouth is med to fuller bod, higher effervescent carb, quite a bit of warming alcohol
Overall an interesting beer, lots of different characters that want to meld together but don't seem to, a bit too much going on and the alcohol seems a bit high even for 8.3% which might be what is throwing the rest of the beer off as well, but it's not bad
