Jul 15, 2008 Appearance: Pours a soiled, murky brown body with a few stray bubbles but nothing I’d dare call a "head".
Smell: Tart fruity aroma with a dusting of cocoa powder and cinnamon.
Taste: Begins with a tart cherry and plum fruitiness with a good ladle full of sweet syrup. Only a vague dark maltiness in the background. Not much in the way of hops or bitterness here, either. Pinch of cocoa, cinnamon, and maybe even nutmeg tossed in. Pop of alcohol on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Mild carbonation.
Drinkability: I tried and I tried, but I just didn’t dig this one. Maybe next time!
