Tap - dark ruby pour - soapy lace - nose f raisin, fig, toffee, vanilla, brown sugar - kind of light for the style and abv, but the mouthfeel is fairly slick and the alcohol is well-masked - flavor is expectedly very sweet - the raisin is fairly prominent and adds a nice depth of flavor, which is good because the malt structure is pretty simple and the yeast adds almost no character whatsoever - the raw sugar is also very present and cloyingly sweet - some alcohol peppery/spicy notes in the finish - simplistic - I expect something like this to have a lot more depth.
