👀 HOW’S IT LOOK?
Deep brown body with excellent clarity. Hold it up to the light and appreciate those bright crimson hues coming through the darkness. A tan head rises up and then fades to a ring around the glass.

👃 WHAT AM I SMELLING?
This one is complex, lots of dark sugar cane notes, brown sugar, deeply toasted caramel. Hints of fruit, fig, banana, dark cherry.

👅 HMMM, THAT TASTES LIKE…
The aroma didn’t mislead us. There’s immediate flavors of caramel, figs, dark cherries right there. Several sweet flavors and yet it is not tooth-achingly sweet! This is thanks to the dark malts adding a slight bit of bitterness that strikes the perfect balance. Impossibly, this all hides the booziness of the high abv while not being a hammer of flavors. All’s right with the world.

😋 THERE’S A PARTY IN MY MOUTH!
The body is medium and there is a high level of carbonation keeping the flavors lively on your tongue. The finish is clean with a hint of roast sneaking through to dry the whole experience out and leave you ready for more.

🍻 TL;DR
Delicious. Complex. Easy To Drink. High ABV. T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
