Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Cloin. Opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles. Smooth soft and slightly viscous palate. Moderate carbonation. Hugely sweet dark and dark chocolate syrup. Ripe fruits. Viscous finish. Too sweet.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Cloin for the can. Semi opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, mild fine carbonation. Candy dark malts, candy dark chocolate and lots of candy fruits, especially berry fruits. Airy smooth finish. Sweet. Amusing and drinkable but feckin sweet.
