Very dark brown body with a nice soapy tan head. Aroma is wonderful. It is full of dark fruit and sweet malt. Mouth feel is effervescent and rich. Flavor reminds me of a brandywine but alcohol content is low. There is a unique bitterness that is disconcerting. This beer begins with gusto and vibrance but ends with disappointment. It is close to being a very nice beer but falls well short, especially as it warms.
