Tap at Cap Tap. Pours darkly ruddy (held against light) with a beige head. Nice aroma of roasty malt (Euro style) with medium dark pitted fruits. Med + body. Flavor is smooth roasty malt with a nice array of medium dark pitted fruits. Maybe dried cherries and some dried pale stone and non-pruny dried plums. Not dry, not very bitter. Just darn good beer. And only 5%? Wow. Get this if you like the style.
