Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Alcohol and dark fruit, a little bit of potpourri or flowers. Caramelized, almost burnt raisins.
Taste: Burnt sugar, burnt raisin, rum raisin ice cream, alcohol (dark rum or whiskey). Not terribly hoppy, or the hop profile is well masked.
Mouthfeel: Warm, low but noticeable carbonation. Medium bodied.
Overall: Hot, boozy, original. Got better as it warmed up in temperature.
