25.4oz crowler pours with a deep copper to mahogany colored body that supports a full off white head of foam. The aroma offers up plum, date and fig like fruity esters as well as thin clouds of spicy to floral hoppiness. The taste delivers smooth sweet plum to date like fruity esters followed quickly by a pleasing spicy hop to floral hop to woodsy hoppy bite. To midway a sliver of reduced sugars is noticed as the massive ABV tries to be heard but never really gains much ground. This comes together nicely. Another few sips and murmurs of various strata of maltiness are noticed ranging from mildly sweet to modestly roasty. This tries to be a big bold strong ale and fully delivers. Fun sipper.
