You and I have had the conversation about going too far with raisins and similar fruits in a beer, and I think I used just the right amount of restraint on this one. I think in a rebrew, I'd try and dry it out even more.Daniel Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991757197619757755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557274700168880702.post-1885840260868050172012-07-23T16:21:23.831-07:002012-07-23T16:21:23.831-07:00I opened this bottle yesterday while Aydan was wat...I opened this bottle yesterday while Aydan was watching a movie and I have a couple thoughts on the beer that I wanted to share. <br /><br />Aroma: Ripe figs, plums and a developed sweetness fill the nose.<br /><br />Appearance: Midnight brown, mysterious. Not black like a stout, thick dark tanish bubbles formed about and inch thick atop the glass.<br /><br /><br />Flavor: Grape skin balancing with the sweetness of Raisins. (I'm glad that the raisins do not overpower the complexity of this beer.) Stone fruit flavors dominate, creating a very smooth, low alcohol bite. <br /><br />Mouthfeel: Lower, robust carbonation, on the thicker side which complements the style. Finishes very dry and clean. <br /><br />Overall: Cleanly fermentated. Well presented beer. Makes me want to brew more "outside the norm" category beersLewyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706904636362867519noreply@blogger.com
