From bottle. Fantastic glowing red colour. Frothy white head. Fruity, berry like flavour with malt, oak and caramel. Tangy finish with hints of cinnamon and spice. Very subtle but ideal.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark brown body, lighter @ the top with a quickly diminishing tan head. Nose is chemical-like caramel and munich malt with light notes of toast, nuts and dry wood. Body is thick and viscous, oily and frothy. Low to medium carbonation. Flavor is crisp toasted malts, bread crust, caramel, lighter notes of vanilla and almonds, that sort of thing. Moderately hopped. Decent winter warmer but nothing special.
