4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at Avery Brewing Tap room Pours out a rich amber/brown topped with a small head. Aroma was over the top tons of sweetness syrup, caramel, pit fruit and some of the 15%. Taste was all of the above lots of sweetness, thick rich malts, pit fruit. After I had this I had to drink 4 cups of water to just clean out my mouth. Man this stuff was thick. I loved it. Pretty drinkable for 15% I would say.
