[Undertaker; Brewery Vivant, Grand Rapids, MI].......

Pours cauldron black, tulgey and macabre. Scented of casket resin and slight nettle of late season dark fruit. When slithing over the tongue, forward taste of pitted prune, mildly tinctured licorice, followed by roiling hints of sorghum molasses. Back taste haunts with roasted malts veiled in a veneer of smoke-- think dying coals from a wet log of bur oak on a cold and dreary All Hallows Eve. Finish settles in like fog enshrouding autumn silhouettes of barren honey locusts.
