Eli's draught, 10/11/25.
Dark. Clear. Very slight, tan head.
Rich but tasteful apple brandy in the nose is juicy and not sharp or boozey. Touch of chocolate behind it with no alcohol or flaw.
Soft and juicy apple with big oak coming through in the middle. Dark chocolate and caramel from the base balances more or less. Hint of chew to the body but it's on the lighter side for the style. That's fine, it's not thin and it doesn't need to be syrupy. Oddly a bit sweeter than the non-BA Mexican cake version. But still not a sweet beer. Love how flavorful the spirit and oak are, yet neither are aggressive/sharp. No booze. Lingering dark chocolate.
