This craft beverage is seductive and full of surprises. Safeword pushes the limits of liquid gratification as Honey and Belgian Dark Candi Syrup are tied together and then disciplined in an Oak barrel until they are released for your pleasure. Enjoy the adventure waiting for you within this bottle and remember, don't forget the Safeword...

750ml. Gloriously shared by air force hops. Pours. Blood red. No head. Alcohol legs. Smells like rich cherry juice, cherry cola. Oak, smells amazing. The taste. It strikes you initially with a cherry cough syrup. Allowing to breathe, fantastic. Cherry, cola, vanilla, oak, cake, delicious finish.

Definitely a strong dark Belgian vibe here. Pours dark maroon. Raisin, candied apple and lots of honey obviously. A hint of tang, something like blackberry or something. Finishes is a lot dryer than you would expect here though, with only light sweetness. Trust in Superstition, I guess, is the moral of the story. Bottle pour at Churchkey.
