look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

12 oz. bottle poured into wine glass

A- Very dark murky amber. One finger head, light tan, quite fizzy. Resembles and retains like a soda head. Pretty quick to go, with not even a ring around the rim. Obviously that leaves no chance of lacing.

S- dark candied fruit, some brown sugar, with a little boozy wine/grape. Aroma is very intriguing.

T- Candied fruit transcends the aroma and reaches the taste buds. (That's deep...) with a general sweetness. A little bit of a metallic after taste. That's not so good.

M- Quite smooth, medium body. Not too thick, less carbonation than I thought it would have. It feels a little bland on the tongue. Yet drinkable, and the high ABV expressed through a nice calming warmth.

O- I have heard good things about this brew and thought it would have been better than this. It looked a little bland, it tasted a little bland, and it felt a little bland. It wasn't awful, but things just didn't seem to come together well. The smell on the other hand, is the highlight, and quite something. It is very pleasing and I may just sacrifice the last oz. and use it in my oil burner.

This is just an ok. It dies not have quite the flavor I was expecting. It is not real bad, just nothing to write special. For the high price I was expecting more, Everything was just average. l will not buy again

Appearance: Mahogany color with some red
Smell- Bready with fruit.

Taste- . Very strong bready malt, with some dark fruit. It is not much balance to it,

Mouthful- mouth was bread taste sticks. It is rather unpleasant.

Overall; It doe not match up with Chimmey . It is just an average beer foir high price.

4.51/5  rDev +19.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance: Ruby-brown-maroon..almost purple in a way. Full-bodied. Very unique.

Smell: Plums, raisins, and licorice. Fairly sweet, but some pine as well.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Incredible flavor. Tons of licorice...not a flavor I particularly love, which makes this even more incredible. Thick body, but goes down smoothly with great yeasty carbonation.

Overall Drinkability: I loved this beer. Really surprised it isn't rated higher.
