22. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! Murky dark brown with a dense, creamy, tan head. Virtually laceless. Candi sugar and brown sugar nose. Creamy, thick body with lots of dark and turbulent sugars. Creamy sugary finish. Sweet but yummy.

Poured a clear very deep ruby color with a medium sized beige head. Fruity, thick and sweet aroma. Just what I like. Fruity flavor with sweet plums and sugar. Bitter finish. Medium to full body with a sticky mouthfeel and warm in the chest. I liked this one.
