Unclear dark brown color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lancing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, chocolate, dusty. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet with a average to long duration, and a dusty feel. Body is medium, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft. (300508)

Bottled.An unclear red-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet wtih strong notes of spices - especially cinnamon. The flavor is sweet with notes of whiskey, cinnamon, burnt malt, celery, and coffee, leading to a spicy and bitter finish where notes of cinnamon and coffee lingers. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

Dark brown color; creamy head. Aroma of dark chocolate and some roasted malt, even some nice hidden hop. Good body structure, it has some sweetness, starting with a chocolate flavor, then some caramel and light roasted malt and sweet liquorice. A bit chaotic, but good.
