Bottle from Dickinsonbeer, thanks! 9.8% says the label. Amber color. Cloudy. Pear drups and alcohol in the aroma. Soft citric raspberry flavor. Alcoholic and slightly tart. Has matured well.
Bottle. Sugar and alcohol. Those two qualities seem to dominate both the nose and flavor. Light, clear copper body with short off-white head that doesn’t stick around long. The aroma is filled with sweet, overripe banana and plum with a strong note of band-aid and lacquer. The flavor is overly sweet — caramel, plums with just a hint of clove and plastic. Peppery alcohol jumps in fairly early. Thick body with chewy texture and sticky feel. Overall, something is amiss here.
