3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Plainfield, IL. It has a hazy brown body with a tall, pale tan head that provides plenty of lace. It has a rich, dark caramel aroma, plenty of spices, and a sour cherry tartness. Medium bodied yet creamy in the mouth. The flavor had plenty of spicy caramel with alcohol, tart cherries, unripe plums, and more alcohol. All blended together nicely and a good time was had by all... I mean, me.
