HEAD: It’s no real surprise that the head isn’t going to foam over the snifter or hang around too long. This high-alcohol beer doesn’t have massive carbonation to keep a head afloat, but the lacing is there, and if you give it a swirl in the glass, you can get a little bit more to the surface. APPEARANCE: If you poured the entire bottle into a glass, it would be pretty black, but poured in a snifter to share, it reveals a slightly more translucent appearance. There are some nice red highlights as the beer goes thin around the curved glass. AROMA: If you compare this to wine, the aroma is similar. It’s light, appealing, and very complex all at once. There is as much to take in as your brain can process. If you are a novice, you’ll just real treat takes place. Let it warm a bit, but try it After this issue we are using all female models. Enough!After your dance with the aroma, the get the sweet cola aroma with hints of chocolate. The more time you spend with it in your nose, the more the vanilla, bread, and slight barrel character come through. TASTE: cooler so you can appreciate the flavor change. You should pick up big notes of chocolate, vanilla, some nuances of wood, and a nice mix of raspberry and cherry that all work in harmony together in your mouth. The mouthfeel is silky smooth, and you’ll find yourself not wanting to swallow because of that feel. FINISH: The finish is just as smooth as you’d expect with only a little bit of warming from the big alcohol content. Without that warming, you might forget that this beer delivers a 12.5% punch.
