Pours a maroon with a deep but bright red hue. Beautiful dark red appearance. Moderate amount of taupe head. Caramel, red apple, and lemon flavors. Astringent finish. Sharp, bitter aftertaste. A little bit of heat in the palate. On the verge of being unpleasant. Looks and smells more like wine than it does like a typical beer. Interesting beer; intense and definitely memorable.
