★ Review: FiftyFifty Healthy Spirits 15th Anniversary

   AROMA 8/10   APPEARANCE 4/5   TASTE 8/10   PALATE 5/5   OVERALL 15/20

Picked this up at Healthy Spirits in San Francisco. $20 a bottle I think shared with my buddy in a snifter.A – Murky black with a lot of amber hues. 2 finger creamy off brown head..very sticky lacing.

S – Interestingly enough, I get a nice dominance of raspberries. It’s strange but raspberries and pecans and quite earthy…very smooth like the nose there is nothing at all off about it. Pretty much a perfect dark beer nose.

T – That cherry / raspberry taste is still there at the finish. Great french press cold brewed coffee with really raw hard chocolate. There is a bitterness that’s minor resin and I get spiced cinnamon and cheap hard candies.

M – It is a great young beer…the most velvety sweet, roasted notes in a beer that’s a blend I mean it’s really mouthfeel-wise, very good.

O – Aside from the berry notes, it’s a very good beer and I could enjoy it all by myself. Really nice beer.
