Apperance: The beer is brown with hints of copper, the tan head settles rather quickly, but leaves lots of lacing. Some curtains are seen. (4) Aroma: The smell is sweet dried fruits and strong wine, pecan nuts and dark chocolate. (4.5) Flavor: The brew is intensely sweet upfront, raisins and figs, a slight malt vinegar sourness, a few vinous notes, and a bitter almonds and cocoa beans finish. (3.5) Palate: The carbonation is low, a sweet syrup feeling, a complex body with a sharp dry finish. (3.5) Overall: This beer is not bad, possibly could do better after some years, a bit sweet and a sharp bitterness that could do with some honing. (4)
