Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights. I thought I poured this pretty vigorously, but only produced a small head that dissipates to a fine, creamy line. After reading other reviews, it's apparent my pour wasn't as aggressive.

Smells of roasted malts, dark fruits, some sweet chocolate.

Taste matches the scent. Rich flavor. Somewhat bitter finish kind of reminds me of a stout.

Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. Very nice feel.

12 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a mahogany brown color with a half inch tan head that stayed around for a while. There's also a good amount of lacing. The aroma is nice and sweet, the brew smells like roasted malt, chocolate, oatmeal, and a bit of dark fruit. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some coffee and some bitter hops in there too. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's well carbonated and enjoyable to drink. I thought this was a good brew, I'd buy it again. $1.99 for a single bottle.
