Poured to a DFH Snifter globe.

Pours a dark and deep reddish brown muddy water, with a 1 finger head that turns to a solid thin tight bubbled lace around the top, with partials of foam here and there. Looks alot like a nice Quad. Smells of strong cherry wood, sweet malts, bready and heavy. Piny, floral, and citrus, hop notes all swirling around, subtle hints of chocolate and lots of brown sugar. The taste has all of the aroma packed into one big punch. Notes of dark fruits and dark sugars also. Finishes with bitter sweet red wine note, that leaves the mouth dry and begging for more. The alcohol is hidden well in both aroma and taste but warms up the chest and belly nicely. Big and heavy on the mouthfeel and body, this beer is aggressive and smooth at the same time, its bold and mellow, its up its down its all around... pretty fucking good! I dont know how else to say about this beer, its an ass kicker for sure.
