Color is a very dark brown and a beautiful deep rich ruby red when held to the light. Two finger tan head that persists and leaves lovely lacing. 5 out of 5 for appearance on this one for sure! Nose of plums, raisins, wood and spices. Woody taste with notes of plums, raisins, spices, caramel, toffee, and coffee. Nicely bitter coffee finish. This one is wonderfully complex. Savor every sip!

Jul 7, 2008 bottle. Nice aroma of malts. Had a robust color for a bitter being a bit darker for the style. Didn’t taste like it looked or smelled...very hoppy taste and was a bit watery. Had a very dry after taste that I didn’t care for but not a bad brew.
