3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy Dark cidery pour thick frothy tan head lots of visable sediment . Aroma of that same spiced hard cider notes of dark mollasses and juicey raisin. Flavor floods with tons of yeasty bread quality. Little of that sweet mollases and raisin in the middle then finishes almost dry with a burnt popcorn aftertaste. A little odd and unexpected but still interesting
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Root beer colored pour with a big frothy white head- good looking brew. Aroma holds raisin, plum, molasses, cider, pear, and some great spice notes. There is also a great bready and yeasty quality to this quad. Flavor characteristics are marked by heavy spice, dough, caramel, and some definite booze burn. The palate is surprisingly light for the style, but this certainly makes it drinkable, which is impressive for 12% ABV. Not too complicated on the tongue, but tasty overall.

Courtesy of deebee21- thanks so much! Opaque brown pour with a robust off white head that stays erect throughout. Aroma is cider oriented- apples and pears combine with date and raisin to created an excellent sweet malt arrangement. On the more subtle, but wholly noticeable side, I am presented with dough, prickling spices, and a warming alcohol presence. Flavor presents a hefty, bountiful dark fruit profile that is quickly met by clove, banana, dough, grapes, and brown sugar. Palate is fluffy in its effervescence, but remains full and heavy throughout. The finish is yeasty and clean.
