Golden brown pour with some cloudiness, very little head, no retention or any significant lacing.
Yes, the sugar is very evident all around, through the sweet aroma, the clinging taste, the aftertaste and the slick mouthfeel. The high ABV is also noticeable, but this beer does pull it off – just. Wave after wave of warming alcohol, but the drinkability is high (at least for the first glass).
I couldn’t drink a lot of this, I don’t know many that could, but nontheless a good sipper. Some dry aftertaste too.
