Perennial Artisan Ales Société du Chêne 2022, Papua New Guinea

“The aroma starts off with big sweet chocolate and lots of sweet cherries, followed by a light whiskey note. Big cherries and chocolate-covered cherries dominate the flavor, moderate whiskey offsets, and there are some apricot and plum notes, too. Booze is the name of the game here, but it isn’t off-putting. It’s fudgy, and the sweetness works only because of this booze.”
