Enjoyed on tap at Slows BBQ in Detroit, MI while having some lunch with good friends. Very excited to see this on the menu. I didn’t take tasting notes, but remember this being a very unique and complex dark ale with rich vanilla, raisin, plum, chocolate, and coffee profile. Would definitely have this again if that was a possibility, very much enjoyable.
