Nice brown/amber color,small tan head that faded fast leaving little behind.The aroma was malty and alcoholic with a slight sweet side coming through.The taste was not all that great.malty taste with a decent but mild hop side and plenty of Booze coming through in the flavor with a pretty good warming effect at the tail end of the tasting.Not bad but could definatley be better.
