Deepest brown, opaque, huge over-carbonated espresso head. The aroma is brandy / rum infused candies, peanut butter cupcakes, spicy Belgianish alcohol and maybe some pastry. The taste just follows the aroma - spicy Belgian boozy base, less roasty and hoppy, with fewer malty and bready notes, and more candy / chocolate cupcake stuff than the Cotton Candy edition. Overall, the flavourings are quite organic and do actually create a pleasant, fine candy profile, but these do feel a little overused. And it also makes the beer feel sweeter and more candyish. Overall, a pretty solid effort.
