Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark copper color with a large foamy yellow-white head that left great lacing. The aroma was malty, bready, boozy and had a vague hint of spice. The flavor was malty and yeasty with a strong boozy presence followed by pear and vague fruits and a hint of black pepper. Long yeasty, fruity and boozy finish. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.
