Dark brown. Thin head. This one's fairly boozy on the nose, but with a touch of apple. Light body, thin, and ultimately dominated by apple brandy. So a light-bodied, alcoholic fruity barley wine. It's not a bad beer, there's some good complexity but it seems like they left some upside on the table here.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma has gentle port barrels, subtle dark fruits, and some bready toffee. Flavour is quite tart, with tart dark dried fruits, gentle port notes, and toffee. Very light-bodied, too tart, not the greatest complexity. It’s alright.

Poured from 500mL side x side with Blend IV (bottled 02/2022). Dark brown with minimal off white head. Creamy apple brandy, some dark fruits, thinner-med bodied. Least favourite of the Sacrifice series.
