On tap @ Beer Temple (from notes): Color is ruby red to brown. Beige head, not much. Aroma’s of sweet red fruit (notably strawberry, also some raspberry). Flavor is sweet with like strawberries with chocolate, syruppy. Finishes with a firm bitterness and some spices.

Tap. Deep brown color with a modest off-white head. The nose is sugary - some plums, dates, spices. The taste is nicely bitter sweet, some ashen bitterness combines with the dark fruits. The body’s full, alcohol is hidden, but not completely obscured. Overall, quite good.
