MOBeerGuy Thoughts:
Pours black with a brown head.

Aroma of fruit and bourbon.

The first taste is of strong tart fruit, followed quickly with a hint of bourbon. The fruit flavor fades away slowly, ending on the milk stout base. The dry aftertaste leaves you wanting to take another sip.

This beer reminds me of 4 Hands' other beer, Downfall, but with a subtle nod to Cuvee Ange.

Note: Aging this bottle until approximately August would rapidly deteriorate the tart fruitiness of this beer.

Pairs with: Dark Chocolate, grilled beef

I give this beer a 4.25 out of 5
