Courtesy of kmweaver. Clear dark amber body with a medium sized tan head. Rich toffee and dark fruit in the nose with some toast and berries. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. I’m getting lots of fruit juice, especially grapes, figs and berries, there is also an abundance of caramel and cookie dough. Medium/full body is very soft with light and gentle carbonation.

Bottle from puzzl I think. Tried from bottle with Atlanta ratebeer crew at 5 Seasons North tasting. Red amber color. Some roasty aroma. Mild flavor. A hint of sour and dry. I was told this wasn’t the best of batches, other batches are better.
