Moved this listing to Casita. Starred at it long enough, I might as well drink it. Single from Appalachian for $5.22, pre-hurricane. Clear Solo cup at home post storm. Filled 2-09-24 Clear, very dark brown with ruby highlights. Quick to fall beige head. Fruity, chocolate raisin, butterscotch nose with an obvious candied coconut back end, slight bourbon. Mounds, medium-dark milk chocolate & coconut, chocolate-covered raisins, vanilla infused booze. English malts peek through middle in. Very slight bitter bite on the tail, but probably not enough push back to keep it from being way too sweet; Lingering vanilla. Sort a cherry Coke feel as it progresses. Oily, just under crispy, middling smooth abv, some hidden acid near the finish. Tasty if kept cold. I wouldn't want to sip this warm.
