Death of Time

Draft at the brewery. Pours dark brown, with a small, tan head. The aroma is toasted oak, walnut, vanilla, cloves, and maple syrup. Sweet and sugary, with a light, nutty bitterness. Heavy, sharp, grainy, and nicely boozy. Bold, barrel-centric, and flavorful.

Tap at the Washington Street location - black pour - soapy lace - nose is initially bright and fruity, but has underlying notes of treacle, sweetbreads, brined cocktail cherries - well-masked alcohol, creamy texture - caramelized sugars, dark fruit, treacle, candied cherry, sweet vinousness, warming booziness - overall impression is slightly like a Manhattan cocktail, actually, and I dig Manhattans.
