On tap @ 1933. Pours a reddish brown appearance with a light brown head. Strangely, I don’t get a ton of the bonus spices in the nose- caramelized sugar, hint of smoke, and chocolate are the more prevalent scents. Body is a little goopy and sweet. Low bitterness. Some fruity notes like plum but I wouldn’t have guessed grapes were added to this. Similarly, the spices are pretty weak. Twangy, sweet cola, caramel, light banana flavor. Not awful but a bit too sweet to want to get this ever again. Crisp dry lingering Cabernet grape, Shiraz grape, Indian coriander, grains of paradise, hefeweizen yeast finish.
