3.33/5 rDev -11.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Dark mahogany with some brown. Very clear, 1/4" head at pour, dissapates to thin ring around edge, and some smoke on face. Maltiness in aroma, candied sweetess, dark raisiny fruit. Dark fruit also found in flavor. Alcohol burn, high carbonation. Not a lot to flavor in end, lots of sweetness up front, light caramel, almost an apply character in middle. Not much in aftertaste, slightly mediciny finish, not as dry as I would expect for style. Decent, not as good as I remembered havin the first time.

Serving type: on-tap

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.
