New Beer Distributors, NY 33cl ($4): Pours mahogany with a beige head. Aroma is dark fruit akin to a dark BSA, coupled with leather. Taste is malty, but not the body is not that heavy. This seems to be lacking in a complexity, and I would go so far as to say that it ain’t even as heavy as it should be. That being said, it is remarkably drinkable for the high alcohol percentage.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. White head quickly recedes to slick surface. Pit fruit and molasses aromas. Hot pit fruit and molasses front to back with a lasting bitter earth finish.
