Alpha10 (1528) - Ontario, CANADA - NOV 25, 2021UPDATED: NOV 25, 2021 2021/11/24 - Pours nearly black with a thin, tan head that quickly dissipates and leaves no lacing. Aroma is fudgey chocolate, caramel, barrel, bourbon and light molasses. Taste is caramel, chocolate icing, bourbon, barrel, molasses and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is slick and oily with soft carbonation and a long, sweet finish that is toasty and warming. Prefer the apple brandy version, but this is still excellent.
