Beer Review: Weyerbacher Sixteen (Dark Braggot Ale)

Braggot is apparently a dark ale brewed with honey...I recall that Empyrean had a braggot last year...mmmm. Every year Weyerbacher does up a special beer to celebrate their anniversary, this year's sixteenth anniversary beer is a dark braggot. The color is a deep mahogany, the head is a thick brown. The first flavor that I picked out was licorice, and then some of the honey that the label advertised. the 10.8% ABV added some heat, but it was smooth, oh so smooth. After a few drinks, there seemed to be some caramel as well, similar in some respects to a barleywine. Definitely worth the price.
