A:
It pours fairly clear ruby-brown with a thick tan head that slowly tightens up, but sticks around as a rouseable film. Good retention; sheets of lacing. (4.25)
S:
The aroma is candied figs and some slight astringency and maybe even some oxidation up front. (3.5)
T:
Flavor wise it is kind of a rollercoaster. Very complex. It actually left me speechless. Brown sugar and dried dark fruits that intermingle with caramel before shifting into an earthy bite and some baking spices. Throughout there is a wavering orangey tang that bobs in and out before finally taking us into the finish with some rum raisin booziness. (4.25)
M:
It is sticky and decadent, with a medium boozy presence and a long-lingering finish. (4.25)
O:
This is a tasty, tasty beer.
It's a looker. However, it smells surprisingly meh, for lack of a better descriptor. Not bad but unimpressive with a bit of oxidation that takes away from it. The rest of it, though, is very nice! A super complex beer flavor-wise. One of those where you can feel you tongue shift gears as you drive to the finish (and beyond). Toffee, banana bread, light spice, orangey brightness, rum. Very enjoyable. The feel follows suit, benefitting from a hefty body and some noticeable booze. As it warmed (from 50°) the oxidation started to creep into the flavor. It definitely didn't kill it for me and did make it a little more complex, but the it's presence was basically the difference between it being amazing and very good for me. I'd happily have this one again and if it was fresh or on tap I might even go out of my way for it. (4.25)
