Bold scarlet-hued spruce-wafted full body with varied complexities makes for heady elixir. Harsh hop-charred spicing and metallic alcohol-burned bitterness cattycorner chewy cereal-grained caramel-chocolate malting up-front. At midst, sticky cotton-candied anise tenacity cushions red apple ripeness and sherry-burgundy-barleywine heft, overcompensating gooey cherry puree, rum raisin, and stewed prune illusions. Chestnut, hazelnut, and butternut fade in and out.
