7.1

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5

Draft at brewpub. Dark red color with a nice lacing. Aroma is thick caramel fruit hops. Some bark-like malts. Flavor is bitter heavy with fruit bark at the end. Reduced carbonation. Nice hop and caramel strong ale. I usually hate caramel and bitter hops but this is the only acceptable version of that sort of beer. Its fruit hops, not to bitter and only lightly caramel.
