Can Liz bought at the brewpub. Pours clear dark mahgoany with a monstrous tan head that started like a Guinness. Dark fruit aromas with a cola note. Med body. Flavor is mixed dark fruit, but cherry seems part of it, and there's something like malt with chocolate. Brandy is detectable and there's also a wood note. Seems sweet but also dry and slightly astringent. Seems complicated or simple depending on how I think about it. Interesting flavor.
