Dark orange pour, typical for the style with minimal head and some, but very little lacing. Typical BW appearance.
Aroma is all dark fruit. Smells a bit like a doppelbock with those very distinct dried fruit aromas coming through strong.
Mouthfeel is very viscous and lubricant like. Slightly off-putting, you probably couldn’t drink a lot of this beer for that reason alone. Lots of alcohol all over the place and it is quite prominent, but I don’t mind that (in fact I expect it) in this style. Slightly unbalnced becasue of the alcohol randomness.
Definite “sipper” for me, OK example of the style but there are better.
