Cheers LC! Golden brown, hazy, some carb, thin rim of bubbles
Aroma - fruity raisins, fruity dark malts, complex fruity aroma, fruity raisins, no whisky here - I was told it had mellowed
Taste - very fruity big time sweet raisin malts, dates, dark fruits, sweet dark golden malts, alcohol is a bit noticeable but seems just right, molassss, touch of earthy hops, complex, again no whisky here
Palate - soft to medium carb, sweet sweet palate, some alcohol warmth. Finish - smooth sweet fruity dark fruity malts
Overall - This is great - I’ve heard that the beer had a lot of whisky initially - it’s all been knocked out by the rum-soaked raisins which has made it much better for me. Very very nice.

csakajosor.hu Szép, sötét borostyán vörös színe van, habja vékony, bézs színű és sokáig a pohár falára tapad. Illatában van egy jó adag rumba áztatott mazsola, vizes tölgyfaforgács, sok maláta és karamell. Íze először édeskés, rumos, mazsolás, datolyás, vaníliás, pipadohányos, égetett cukros, aztán jön egy jó adag fás fanyarság, pörköltkakaóbabos, száraz és whiskys kesernyésség. Sűrű és igen testes és szénsavas. Utóíze alkoholos, keserédes és száraz. Remek kísérlet, de nem a mindennapok itala!
