On tap at Hopcat A2. Pours a clear amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of sour red fruits with some cherry and a decent amount of acid. Flavor is full of sour red fruits with a touch of oak underlying.

Bottle from mikem409, thanks for the opportunity! Solid dark black with the faintest of garnet at the edges and a bubbly off white head that shows poor retention. Brown sugary, fruity syrup, roast with hints of chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and light coconut. A bit sticky and syrupy with a nice warming alcohol. A sipper for sure, but hides the alcohol well, I wish I’d waited for a cold winter night for this.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled in fall 2014.

With a bit more body and darker malt complexity this would have been better, but was still a nicely enjoyable offering overall.
