The aromas are of cherry apple some roasty malt and a good bit of alcohol. The flavor is very strong on caramel and alcohol with some cherry and a deep maltiness balanced by some muted hop spiciness. I’d like to try it again. shawnm213 (985), South Bend, Indiana, USA

Pours a dark cloudy amber with a medium frothy light tan head that leaves behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a rich caramel malt with raisin and citrus.
