375ml bottle pours out dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is brandy barrel notes some chocolate and a nice rich roast malts. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate roast malts some vanilla rich brandy barrel kick.

Draft at beer basement. Aroma of ripe fruit, raisin, brandy booze and caramel. Taste has lots of rich brandy booze, raisin, ripe fruit, figs, caramel and some chocolate. Tastes more like a barley wine than a ris, but it’s a real nice dessert.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a dark brown color with a brown head. The aroma has brandy with some s’mores and dark chocolate. The flavor is very woody and hot. Lots of alcohol, chocolate and brandy notes. Good, but a little too hot for me to want to try again.
