Pours clear with an inch of tan foam that has an average retention and some spotty but thick.
Aroma is malt forward as is expected. Not all sweet and caramel. Raisin, smoke, and toffee all let their presence be known. No hops and, in spite of the high alcohol, no alcohol.
Taste is quite rich. Toffee, smoke, raisin, caramel, and sweetness all form a nice tight package.
Big body and thick, almost syrupy. Light carbonation cleans the palate a bit between sips.
For the amount of alcohol this beer is ridiculously easy to drink. Very nice flavors aid here. A solid beer that was better than expected. Enjoy! - 619 characters
