Draft. Rich amber-brown beer with a light tan head. Fruity, light sherry aroma with malt. Fruit and sweet malt flavor with brown sugar and light spice. Medium bodied. Sweet malt lingers with light spice, caramel, light earth, and fruit.

Draught thanks to Mark at Craftsman. Pours with a foamy, light brown head and a hazy brown body. Aroma is boozy with a bit of wood, brown sugar and caramel, very little hops. Taste is dark fruits, brandy, brown sugar, caramel and a bit yeasty. Malt is very pronounced and fresh (tastes like a brewery on brew day smells). Smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Light carbonation.
