3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
750ml bottle, shared with friends over a game of Catan. Clear dark red / brown color. Minimal white head. Bigger body. Lighter carbonation. Light stickiness. Cool color, but besides that doesn’t look impressive. Interesting aroma.. Belgian candy sugar, rye bread, caramel malt, little chocolate malt, very light spice. Sweet taste. Alcohol not noticeable, but you can guess at it from the bigger, more viscous body. I was hoping for more from this.. Particularly, more rye, less candy sugar, less caramel malt.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark red, light brown head. Nose is spicy rye, huge booze, sugar. Reminds me of a homebrew that doesn’t mask its ABV whatsoever. Taste is prune juice, sickeningly sweet and boozy. Medium mouthfeel.
