Poured up on tap at Sun Up with clear deep copper with lasting off white head. The aroma is sweet with prunes, figs and pears as well as a bit of caramel candy too. The taste is much the same with sweet prunes and smashed ripe warmed cherries and then slick sweet sugary malts. It stays sweet with cherries, prunes and sugary malts as well as a bit of roasted malts as this heads into the finish. I get a faintly dry sense showing up form time to time likely from a bit of roasted malt astringency. This would be even amazing-er with some rye in it.
