This is incredible. All of the ingredients listed are identifiable and kick in at different stages. Raisin and vanilla are the dominant flavor. It tastes like an oatmeal cookie when all of the flavors are combined. It's one of the best beers at R.N.

This is the confluence of old school River North and peak Matt^2 brilliance. This exemplifies the beer that made River North my favorite brewery but is on another level from those earlier favorite beers. Bravo guys!
