• Pour: The Four Seasons Of Mother Earth: Summer pours a deep, dark brown (almost black) with a creamy, mocha head that dissipates to the thin, but sustained ring.
• Nose: The nose is earthy, woody, chocolaty, and fruity.  There are aromas of dark roasted coffee, dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, fresh raspberries, vanilla bean, and burnt toffee.
• Taste: The taste of the Four Seasons Of Mother Earth: Summer is earthy, chocolaty, fruity, slightly boozy, and slightly tart.  There are notes of dark and milk chocolate, raspberry puree, rich coffee, cream, vanilla, and bourbon.
• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied with low carbonation, the mouthfeel is very thick, sticky, and velvety smooth with a dry, slightly sweet and boozy finish.

Overall pairing: The heavy-duty hard rocking tracks of Mothers Army and the heavy-duty and silky characteristics of Mother Earth's Four Seasons Of Mother Earth: Summer are a perfect pairing of depth, artistic vision, and power!

    

Cheers and hails!!
