Growler thanks to Beerloco!!! - Pours dk and hazy amber with a small beige head...aroma is full of spicy fruit, banana, apple, some bubblegum, sweet caramel...flavour is a great balance, sweet dark fruit, but also dry grain and burnt sugar bitterness...cocoa and spice to round it out, simply the most hidden ABV i’ve ever encountered, but I can sure feel it when I stand up....this f’ing rocked!

Hand-bottle from Paul. I was a little worried about opening this as a nightcap. I have to be awake for work in 6 1/2 hours. But damn if it didn’t look so freaking good sitting there in my icebox. First sip, damn this shit is smooth. A lot going on- dark fruits, char, dark chocolate with cherries, pretty decadent, complex, and smooth. Really nice beer overall. Shit this is good.
