Thanks Trevor.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a finger’s worth of quickly dissipating white foamy head. Sliding stringy lace
The aroma smelled like someone dropped thick milk chocolate fudge in it. Super sweet all around, subtle signs of caramel and vanilla.
The flavor leaned definitely to the sweet side, thick milk chocolatey fudge surrounding the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Fairly easy to take down for an imperial stout. ABV even felt a bit lighter than what was projected by the brewer. Pretty smooth all around.
Overall, imperial sweet stout? That’s what I believe. I didn’t mind so much for me.

Thanks Trevor.
Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a rustic to semi-transparent sort of burnt red color with a light white foamy cap of a little head. Moderate trickling lace.
The aroma had some toast, nuts, light roastiness, subtle grassiness the some cake. Then a slight apple underneath.
The flavor somewhat blends the roast to the toast, semi-sweet underscored by some bitterness. Low lying malts. Semi-sweet and moveable aftertaste rolling on into the finish nice with a clean malt.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, nicely done amber ale almost worthy of \"strong ale\" status but still I would have again.

Great stuff! Balanced tart/crisp apples/cranberry; fruit peel/earthy spice. Tart/crisp carb/light tannic. Very refreshing/nice complexity! --- Beer merged from original tick of Cranberry Apple Hard Cider on 24 Jul 2016 at 17:42 - Score: 8. Original review text:
