Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a very dark brown - almost black - color with a large foamy brown head that left good lacing. The aroma was molasses, date, fig, raisin, a boozy brandy presence and treacle. The flavor was quite tart and sour with date, fig, raisin, bing cherry, molasses, treacle, brandy and a strong boozy presence. Very long finish. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.
