I poured a 12 oz bottle into my tulip glass...

The color was brown with lots of red hues, ther is a lofty tan head with loose bubbles that you could hear dissipating.

I could smell white wine, cherries, grapes, and a hint of wood.

When you take a sip there is a sour bite on the back of the tongue, you can taste white grapes, tart cherries and a hint of raisin.

This beer is light with soft carbonation, it warms you up and leaves your mouth dry.

This beer blew my mind, you better sip on this one.

Appearance: Hazy, dark copper/reddish color with two fingers of off-white head that fades with a thick curtain of lace.

Aroma: Thick, syrupy sweetness, with molasses. raisin, ripe fruit and roasted malt in the background. Some estery alcohol mixes in and out.

Taste: Thick, creamy and sweet up front, with lots of ripe fruit and some yeastyness. The malt presence builds, with a nice toasted, nutty taste leading to the finish, where there's more cherry-syrup sweetness and a lingering caramel candy aftertaste.

The Rest: De-li-cious. A bomber of this is the perfect evening companion to relax and enjoy life.
