Aroma: “Whiskey first, beer second. But the beer is good! Burnt toast, coffee, some chocolate notes. Light smoke and hints of dark cherry and soy sauce.”

Flavor: “Fairly sweet up front. Starts with caramel and dark dried cherries with a lingering roastiness that balances with the strong alcohol character nicely. Finish is warming but not overwhelmingly hot. The whiskey character adds complexity but isn’t overwhelming.”

Overall: “Obviously massively strong, but it’s sneaky overall. Great dark dried fruit (raisins, cherries) paired with chocolate and whiskey. Complex, rich, balanced, dangerous.”
