This beer is a big boy; shadowy and muscular with the flavors of concentrated black coffee, ashy cocoa and dark red fruit all vying for palatical supremacy. The toasted pecans give the beer a polite peanut butter vibe. Drinking 2 Turtle Doves at anything but a regal snails-pace and in measured pours seems uncivilized and wholly unnecessary. Cellaring will surely only contribute a further nobility and decadence to this rich and colossal beer. | ||||||
