Taste: 7/10

Dried fruit, raisin, booze, hint of chemicals, yeast, plums and an alcoholic finish.

Mouthfeel: 3/5

High carbonation but it didn't make the mouthfeel overly harsh. Smoother at first and harsher at the end.

Comment:

A sweet and interesting beer but the chemical notes draws down the points. However the chemicals dissapears after a while, probably when my tastebuds got used to them. A complex and very alcoholic beer. I think this beer would be best on it's own but otherwise it might be a good companion with various cheeses.

Total: 3,5/5
