A- Pours a mahogany hue with massive amounts of light brown head which takes quite a while to settle.
S- Up front the nose is quite spicy with hints of caramel and dark fruit.
T- Lots of dark fruits up front give way to a wall of sweetness so cloying it is hard to enjoy. There is a big hop backbone but it gets steamrolled by the residual sugars. Alcohol flares up and the end and is very apparent.
M- Mouthfeel is thick with low carbonation.
D- I had a half pint of this and it was interesting but I think the half pint was enough.
