Tonight's beer:
Opens up very dark-fruity, laden with dates and figs, edged with cherries and plums and red grapes—all dried and/or candied. Syrupy smears of molasses and caramel and honey and maple around the middle, on a structure of dark-toasted bread. Earthy-peaty bitterness struggles toward the fore through a long and sloping finish fighting its way toward dry.
A little thicker than medium-bodied, pretty decently carbonated. Some soft chewiness evolves to strands of syrupy stickiness. Gently drying by the finish, tending toward refreshing.
This beer was a good deal fruitier than I was expecting for a Wee Heavy, but it's pleasant and tasty. Impressively intense and impressively complex; nicely integrated, poised, graceful—if a bit of a malt-bomb. A local recommended we stop by these people last time we were in Williamsburg; I'm glad we did.
