Pours dark brown with a medium tan head...nice dark color and rings of lacing. Aroma has sweet brown sugar, toffee, and caramel notes. Flavor follows suit...notably sweet...too much so for my taste. Mouthfeel is medium and sticky with a sweet brown sugar/toffee/maple finish.

On draft at the brewpub, pours a plum purple color with small ring of head. Notes are very, very sweet with grape candy sugars, booze, and grape prune juice. Thick and sticky for the most part. This one is not for me.

Growler from the brewery. Pours near ebony with a thin creamy head. Aromas of chocolate fudge, nougat, and a bit of tangerine/clementine. Flavors are the same plus peanut brittle and almond. Did not get much Clementine in the flavor. This is a really interesting brew. I am very glad I got to try it.

Draft at Tired Hands with Linh, Minh and Angela. Pours a thick, deep brown body with thin off white lacing. Aroma is earthy, oaky and boozy. Mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied with notes of rich earth, light spice, some fruit (couldnt really pinpoint the clementine), malt, molasses, sweet nuts and lots of alcohol. I wasnt a huge fan of this one personally, but it could sure get the job done.
