Tap at the brewery - this is way better than the base beer, mostly because it is not nearly as sweet - having the sweetness out of the way allows some of the other character to shine through, especially the dark fruit character (plum, raisin) - light tannins and some bretty notes of leather - the alcohol burn is still a bit high, but this is pretty tasty.
