Draft at the brewery. Pours a thin off white head, with some lacing, over a very slightly hazy dark auburn (SRM 15) body......nose is sugary heavy sweet fruit, with plum and fig dominant......taste is sweet with plum, fig, and light spices including allspice...mouth feel light, alcohol heat present, carbonation low. While this meets the style, it needs greater attenuation to lower the dominance of the sweetness. If it were less sweet the complexity of the esters would be easier to define. BJCP 7/3/13/4/7
