Pours a deep nutty red-black with a small creamy beige head - lots of lacing. Aroma is hoppy, lightly roasted with a touch of chocolate. Flavour is round, roasted, dry, chocolate and still light and fresh. A touch vinious, but never alcoholic. This is a wonderful brew! Buddahchild (28), Littleton, Colorado, USA
