12 ounce at the brewery - dark purple pour - nose and flavor is a nicely balanced mix of caramelized sugars, dark fruit, light acidity, moderate peppery phenolics and earthiness - candied cherries, plum, faint chocolate - complex and balanced, with well-masked alcohol - it’s tasty! - also, a full pour of this only costs 6.50 - learn something from this, other Denver breweries!
