Elaborate brown-bodied tan-headed (9.1% alcohol) strong ale just a tad too mellowed out for perfection. Brown-sugared molasses-sapped vanilla bourbon entry picks up oak-chipped port-wined Merlot warmth, dried-fruited raisin-plum-fig subsidy and minor coffee roast above earthen peat malting. Serve to experimental porter-stout aficionados or fruitier barleywine lovers.
