Pours an effervescent chestnut/cola color with one finger of tan head. Average-ish head retention & lacing, viscous
S: Plums, dates & brown sugar
T: Follows the nose, leafy hops, dryness up front, some pear & acidic notes as well. Pear cider ( Perry ) notes along with oak barrel dryness, treacle & a little toffee as this beer warms up. Finishes with figs, brown sugar & Barlett Pear notes
MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, warming. Carbonation tamps down a little once warm, sweetness & a little acidity on the teeth
Great drinkability for the style has aged well
