Exhilirating ruby-browned Belgian strong dark ale (2013) brings brown-sugared candied fruitcake holiday decadence to chocolate-spiced caramel malting and toasted hop bittering. Its syrupy orange-bruised black cherry fruiting weaves thru mild alcohol warmth. Anisette, coffee brandy and caraway illusions fade into molasses-sweetened sugarplum, stewed prune, raisin and fig nuances, giving the chewy medium-full-bodied winter seasonal further complexity.
