Unplugged Enigma
12oz bottle courtesy of iowaherkeye poured into a tulip. Pours a murky deep iced-tea brown that shows hints of amber around the edges. The head is decent-sized and off-white leaving a trace of lacing as it settles in as a collar. The aroma is an intriguing mix of sweet and sour cherries and some underlying brown sugar along with a sizable oak presence with vanilla. The taste is a bigger, sweeter version of the aroma. It's got the tart cherries up front that gives way to the huge caramel malt and brown sugar sweetness underneath. The finish has tons of vanilla and the oak helps leave a slightly dry finish. The mouthfeel is pretty full-bodied and super smooth with minimal carbonation. Another wonderful creation from New Glarus who really knows how to mix fruit and beer. It's big and complex but also very drinkable. Highly recommended!
