Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits a clear copper to amber colored body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up brown sugar, prunes, a bit of gingerbread cookie and then a sliver of booze at the end of the draw. The taste delivers smooth brown sugar, molasses, prunes and dates that gets a tad raisin like toward midway. Into the finish a brief chocolate malt note is sometimes noticed giving this a pleasing degree of added interest. Into the finish it gets faintly gingerbread cookie like just as a modest booziness hits to close out the experience. Pretty nice stuff.
