Bottle. A gusher, producing a hazy brown body and a medium sized tan head. Caramel, dried fruits and some alcohol on the nose. The flavor is sugary sweet with both fresh and dried fruits. Caramel and some bitterness too, finishing mostly bitter, with the other flavors found initially in the back. Medium to full body, almost sticky on the palate. A nice beer that won’t impress anyone I think. 101015
