Can (10/29/24) from the brewery. Hazy dark rose-magenta with light sparkle, fizzy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong plum/dark fruit, caramel, mild allspice. Taste is strong dark cherry, plum, caramel, hint of allspice. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste with mild bitterness. Booze hidden. True to style, competent across the board but not exceptional in any way. I enjoyed it.
