Dark reddish/Brown, clear, offwhite head Smokey, deep malts, some dark fruit figs, nutty and toffee notes present but not as strong as id like Deep malts , smoke dies off a bit and more fruits, and toffee to come to play, sweet but not overbearing, a touch of warming alcohol A bit to thin, but otherwise ok. good carbonationI enjoyed it. I got 6 pack and feel good about that, but probably wont get more. Its solid, and worth a try for wee heavy fans. (beeradvocate.com)
