Dry prune-hued medium body with sweet liqueur template settles to caramelized marzipan midst, then alcoholic brandy finish. Raisin, plum, and port notes gently speckle honeyed chocolate malts.

Boring Irish-styled pale ale with skunky malt aroma, crisp hop flow and unassuming dry-fruited finish. Neither bitter nor sweet, just an average ale lost in the middle of the pack.
