Lake Placid Ubu Ale

Months ago, my wife got me a enrolled us in a "beer of the month" kind of club, and we've been receiving 12-packs of random craft brews from around the country ever since.  My wife rules.  One of our recent arrivals is the Ubu Ale, an English-style strong ale from Lake Placid Craft Brewing in New York state, and it's delicious.  The brown ale is nice and dark, with a decent tan head and smells sweet with hints of dark fruit, malt, and maybe some brown sugar.  As for the flavor, the sweetness from the dark fruits and brown sugar shine through, but with some added hints of chocolate or toffee, some light, subtle hops to add some bitterness to the mix, and some roasted notes to balance the whole thing out.  The carbonation gives the brew a little bit of pop, and the 7% ABV lets you know it means business.  I love this beer.  If you live in the northeast, please send some of this to me ASAP.  Thanks.
