Moderately hazy and murky with no head retention, smells of raisin, fig, oak, and booze. The taste is crisp and lightly sweet, with flavors of caramel, raisins, ginger, maple, and a mildly nutty yeast character on a slick medium body. The finish is long and moderately low in bitterness, featuring notes of toasted caramel, vanilla, oak, raisins, bourbon, and booze. Overall, it’s a little rough around the edges, I’ll have to pick up another bottle and age it for a few years to see if it mellows out. Nevertheless, it’s a very bold and complex beer, definitely a slow sipper, but a beer that rewards you for taking your time.
