Unplugged Abt
12oz bottle poured into large tulip - cant remember who sent this but thank you! Pours a deep cherry color which almost turns brown, but turns brilliant red in the light. Layers of beige head retain with film, leaving a few patches of lacing on the glass. Candy sugar and dark fruit in the nose with raisin and dates, barely any booze despite the higher ABV. Pretty soft overall though. A bite of sweetness up front, driven by the candy sugar and dark fruit cocktail. Dates and raisins swirled with some burnt sugar notes, creating a fairly rich profile. Large malted base with some syrupy tones. Finishes with dark sweetness and very slight alcohol warmth. Fuller medium body, higher carbonation, prickly yet smooth on the tongue at the same time. Solid quad with plenty of flavor, rich in dark fruit and mellow on the booze despite being nearly 10%.
