Clear copper. Slight husky, almost burnt bitterness, but really good yeast aromas and flavors.

Comes out of the tap a nearly opaque warm chocolate brown with a thick, pale tan, fine-bubbled head. Rich, malty, fruity aroma has floral and spice hints. Malty, fruity, woody flavor fairly fills the mouth and has a hint of cloves. Full-bodied, smooth texture is nicely fizzy and leaves a malty, fruity and tingly finish.

Appearance is a brown color with reddish tint and a beige head. Aroma contains banana, clove, chocolate and toffee. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a dominate chocolate flavor with dark fruit and banana in the background. Overall good beer and these guys do some mean german styles.
