Thanks Henry!
Poured into a snifter, the appearance was a dark amber/brown color with a little white cap of a head. Light lace.
The aroma had some dark fruits, brown sugar, cocoa powder, clean driftwood sweetness, light vanilla, and a little bit of smoke/ash.
The flavor consistently blended the damp sweet to the dry sweet - the brown sugar and dark fruits to the cocoa powder and smoke/ash. Driftwood wasn’t so much here, but this did have a nice smooth aftertaste rolling into the finish pretty good too.
The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine and the ABV felt fine.
Overall, good for what it was, almost more of an English styled strong ale in my opinion.
