Goblet draft at the Martin City Brewing Company Pizza & Tap in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a dark black with a thin khaki head. The aroma is booze, whiskey along with caramel, cane sugar and big round fruit sweetness. A bit of roast malt in there as well as the beer warms. The taste is boozy sweet raisin up front, the caramel sugar and finishing with some of the roast malt and big boozy liquor alcohol heat. A bit of pine in the long finish. The heat is actually well integrated with the malt and caramel raisin sweet, there is just so much alcohol. The palate heavy bodied with soft to low carbonation and a big pile of the warming alcohol. Well made but too boozy for me.
