text: Poured into a Mikkeller glass on 6/21/11 Thanks to MbpBugeye for sharing Copper/rust with orange highlights at the stem. 1/3rd inch head. Thin ring of retention. Deep, complex aromatic tones. Rum-soaked raisins, plum, oak, vanilla, hints of soft spices, faint grape notions and a bit of sweet bourbon. Decent spot of brown sugar. Suggestions of cinnamon. Spicier as it warms. Tastes just as complex, featuring sugars of the moderately-dense variety. Brown sugar and a good spicy character. True to form, the spiciness unfolds over time, peppered with alcohol heat. Whiskey and charred oak (the char being subtle). Raisins and other dark fruit. Really impressive. Full enough feel. Nearly syrupy. Low carbonation. Slick and hot with alcohol; more so as it warms. Long, lingering finish. Overall impression - a bit too hot and almost too sweet but the complexity trumps out in the end.
