Draft: Poured a burnt orange with off white head. Aroma is light hops, figs dates, fermented fruits, vanilla, toffee. Taste is sweet sticky fruits, vanilla, loads of booze, lively on tongue and yet not overwhelming finish. Solid BA Bwizzle!

On tap at the brewery. Pours red brown. Sherry, dried white grape, fig, cherry, caramel, orange peel, grapefruit peel, strawberry. Body could take a little less carbonation and it's a little thin for the strength. Tastes magical though.
