Veritable fruit-caked 2012 winter release named after famed British illustrator Ralph Steadman (whose artwork graces Flying Dog’s bottled beers) brings Belgian-styled candi-sugared dried fruiting to alcohol-burnt brandy, Cognac and Chardonnay warmth. Plum-wined frontage begets prune, fig, raisin, date and purple grape illusions above sinewy caramel malting. Tertairy brown pear, cherry coughdrop, strawberry and pineapple undertones find space.
