Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a medium sized foamy beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, dark fruits, yeast, a bit of phenol and an alcohol presence. The flavor was sweet, tartish and tangy with elements of dark fruit, yeast, toffee and light undertones of medicine and alcohol. Very long dark fruit finish. Moderately full bodied. Excellent.
