Been a while since my last can of this. Even better than I remember. The combination of rich, full bodied sweetness and fruity acidity is fantastic. Beautiful texture. At sub 10% it feels like alchemy quite how big a beer this is.

Salty molasses, thick and dark, like old engine oil. STRONG, and bourbony

Lovely fruity aroma. Lovely rich mouthfeel and a fine fruity cherry flavour with a nice spicy kick and light tartness. Very nice.
