4.2/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
330 ml bottle, 2009. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a small 1 finger off white head with decent retention. Aromas of vanilla, caramel, dark fruits, and brown sugar. Taste of dark fruits, vanilla, brown sugar, and caramel. The beer finishes pretty clean with a very small bit of aftertaste, but wow is this insanely drinkable for the 14% ABV. The beer goes down clean and yet only leaves warming after the finish. No bitterness in this, but I would say it would not matter in this case because it is extremely enjoyable to drink. Light carbonation and a full and creamy body. This is a fantastic experience. Even with the smooth drink, it is definitely a sipper.
I am really glad that the clerk at Belmont Beverage recommended this. It is fantastic.
