didn’t really get fruit notes from persimmon but definitely got the spiciness they talk about on the label. Seemed over-spiced to me but yet they didn’t add any spices themselves. perhaps these fruits were a bit too wild?

Copper colored pour. Aroma of fruit, spice, light tartness. Flavor has a nice person note, sweet spice, yeast, bready notes.

750ml bottle, #1779.
Pours a deep copper that looks almost black in the glass with a small fizzy beige head that recedes to a small collar and collection of bubbles fed from the middle.
Aroma is fruity with the persimmons definitely coming through, but sweeter than just the fruit, caramelized sugar maybe. There are hints of spices but very faint.
Taste is also dominated by the fruitiness which comes is two waves - first, the slightly tart persimmons, second, the fruity esters.Then some spices, which are more prevalent than in the aroma, especially in the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft carbonation, fruity and dry in the finish.
This is my first Fullsteam brew and I’m really enjoying it. It’s certainly a unique take on a winter warner.

The high abv is well hidden. Dark brown color. Light fruit in the aroma. Flavor is lightly sour, with more fruit. I can taste the persimmon. This is a good beer. Lightly sweet finish.

Estery and slightly phenolic, some peppery notes. Nice dark fruits and sweet spice, dates and sweet bread. Full body and medium carbonation.

Sampled from a 750 ml bottle, number 379/800, and shared during BDR’s annual BBQ weekend.

Aroma of multi-grain and caramel malt, some plum, tropical fruit and a hint of apricots. Taste is medium bodied, soft carbonation with flavors of light fruit, multi-grain and caramel malts, some mild spice and a touch of candied cherries. Finish has a neutral aftertaste with some caramel malt, light tropical fruit and low bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden.
