Dark amber with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with caramel, fruits and hoppy notes. Sweet vinious flavor with caramel, hops and alcohol notes.

(draft) Clear amber body topped by a pillowy off-white head that leaves lovely lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, cantalope, some alcohol, herbal, light plum. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some alcohol, light raisin. Medium-full body. I will be curious to see if aging improves this.
