Pours cloudy brown with a nonexistent head. Really a quite ugly beer somewhat reminiscent of prune juice.
Aroma is pruney/raisiny with lots of alcohol.
Flavor is also a bit pruney. Lots of big alcohol notes too. Thankfully as strong as it is, it isn't overly sweet, which is a pleasant surprise.
Finish is very warm but surprisingly not too out of balance.
Overall it is a bit harsh and it could use another year in the bottle. Hopefully some more carbonation will develop in time as well.
Again, a Dogfish beer I'm not a fan of, not a real surprise. It's not horrible, but it's not great either, it's just ok.
Sounds a lot like the paper I'm writing.
