Tonight's beer: Flying Dog ST.EADman
Dark fruits—cherries and plums and raisins—backed by cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and assorted other dark baking spices. Chocolate, caramel, dark bread through the middle. Earthy-peaty-grassy bitterness emerges more toward the end. Kinda sweet to start; dries out slowly but thoroughly.
Pretty light-bodied, with lots of carbonation. Drying and tending toward the cleansing and refreshing. Some boozy prickle and warmth, but nothing untoward or unpleasant. A little sticky around the finish.
Quite a delicious beer, pretty true to style. Lots of complex and intense flavor, nicely integrated and well balanced. Some notable alcohol presence, but nothing out of place for a 10% ABV beer. Drinkable, but the strength is obvious enough that this is really more of a sipping beer.
