Enjoyed on tap at Rockwell’s in Chicago, IL while picking up some delicious burgers. Happy to have found this one! Appearance is a cloudy dark brown / red with a thin white head. Aroma very light with obvious fruit and wood notes, can definitely sense a heavy ABV brew. Taste is pretty good, goes down dry with a nice bitterness, more malty than hoppy, rich carbonation, caramel cherry and chocolate notes. There’s a bunch going on with this one, enjoyable stuff.
