[2/23/15] Draught at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland. Black with a light brown head. Nice aroma of chocolate, liqueur, wine, oak and vanilla. Sweetish flavor, a bit acidic, vinous, oaky, with chocolate and dark fruit. Slightly boozy. Medium to full-bodied. A bit too winey and boozy for me.

Keg at the Beavertown facility, 11/11/14. Clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is malt forward, light fruit, rather thin and found wanting. Taste carries more depth, bitter orange, caramel, hint of candied fruit, spice, pale malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so but drinkable.
