3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle thanks to my friend sam. Pours a somewhat cloudy mahogany with a somewhat small beige head. Nose and flavor are both marked with candied sugars, rich raspberry, toasted almonds, raisin, and a touch of sweet chocolate. Good spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) come through on the tongue as well. Good stuff.

Bottle. Amber Belgian ale with aromas of caramel, toffee and raisins. Sweet and fruity with very well integrated alcohol.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma: Complex mixture of raisin, clove, and nuts.
Appearance: Bright amber with a thick white head that dissipates quickly but leaves lots of lacing.
Taste: Light sourness immediately swallowed by a light bitterness and light sweetness that play off of each other..
Palate:Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation, long finish.
Overall: While it’s not exactly what I was expecting, this is a really well designed and developed beer. I’m not completely blown away by it, but I can see the care and crafting that went into this beer and I’m impressed.
