Bottle, 22oz, at TFODRBSG 2012. It’s a lightly unclear one, brown in color and with a small, beige head. Not much berry aroma, it’s mostly caramel and roasted malts. Some lightly spiced hints in the flavor, a touch of berries, as well as roasted malts and caramel. Full-bodied, a bit heavy on carbonation. Some acidity. Caramel and roasted notes in the end. A pleasant beer, fun to have sampled, but that’s it. 120218

22oz bottle pours a hazy, ruby red with a cloudy, beige head. Nose has cherry cough drops, lightly sour, some burnt sugar. Flavor is cherry, a little celery, some light caramel, tomato. Almost tasted a bit like a bloody mary. Medium bodied, vegetal finish. Kind of gross.

Bottle shared by BA teamizm. Pours with massive lightly tan head over a murky brown body. Aromas of hugely estery, cherry, coughdrops, pear, vanilla, alcohol, almond and a bunch of dark fruits. Flavors are slightly tart, dry, cherries, styrofoam, brown sugar. Lots of esters, craisins, black cherries. Fusel, a bit hot, cotton candy. Medium to lively bubbles, warming and sticky. Not too pleasant for my tastes.
