Pours a deep reddish mahogany with a quickly dissipating head. Dark stonefruit nose, sweet. First sip is initially that ommegang yeast soapy character I don't generally enjoy, but my palette is soon overwhelmed by black cherries. It makes it more than drinkable. There's a slight cloying aftertaste, with more black cherries and plums and peaches, what you'd expect from a good dark candi syrup addition.
Well balanced, as it's almost ten percent alcohol.
