There’s nothing nefarious about this beer’s whispery tan head, but the incredibly engaging aroma hints at the beer’s wicked side. A trio of raisin, cherry and red grape scents smooth out edgy roasted notes; the same roastiness appears along with bread crust on the tongue, brightened by a dash of table-sugar sweetness. Fresh cherry gleams in the middle before bitterness and alcohol warmth combine to sweep the mouth clean. With just the right amount of residual sweetness left on the tongue, this beer doesn’t leave the drinker overwhelmed after each sip.
