Seems like a while since I've had a new 3 Ravens beer, but looking at their last 20 beers added here I see the words Creamsicle (x4), Shiraz Negroni, Pina Colada, Milkshake, Brulee Shake, Passion Juicy, Ice [sic] Tea with Peach, Salted Caramel and Xmas Trifle. Sounds about right. Can. Pretty dark red; clear with a cm of beige head that doesn't last all that well. Aroma of sticky breadcrust, flowers, some stewed fruit, coconut, spices, orange. Layers of caramelised flavours with a fair lick of sweetness but toppier fruit and spices notes gradually pull through towards a finish where the bitterness struggles a bit to come through. But the richness does get lifted away very effectively and the hop blend gives what could be an over-complicated beer a theme. Good, interesting.
