750 ml bottle poured into a snifter. Black with a tinge of brown around the edges and a finger of quickly fading tan head. Aromas of raspberry syrup, some chocolate. Tastes of raspberries, dark chocolate, coffee, light roasty notes. Alcohol is mostly well masked. Medium body with a dry and slightly warm finish. Flavors are a bit muted when cold, let this one warm up. Nice variant of Pandemic overall.

There’s a little too much Qualia in this and not enough porter. Barrel aged coffee beans wins new hipster gimmick of the week award though. Otherwise some roast. Some caramel. Light bitter finish. Consistency a little syrupy. Tap at meridian pint.
