Deep reddish brown with light brown head. Aroma is grainy brown sugar and some roasted barley. Flavor is grainy with some roasted notes. A good bitterness. A little sweetness creeps in at the end.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2011 Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a black color with a small tan head that left some lacing. The aroma was Dr. Peper, anise and nutmeg. The flavor was malty and roasty with notes of coffee, cocoa, licorice and Dr. Pepper. The finish was long, dry, roasty and spicy. Medium body. Ok.

On tap at the brewpub. Struggled with this one. Pours a darker mahogany-black. Aromas give away the intense spice burden. Flavors wade through murk and mire. The stout body is absent and this beer misses both a good hearty texture and really solid, satisfying charred, toasted, roasted, and dark roast characters. Then, the spices bowls over with a candied or mulled sensation that just edges over gimicky. Tough to finish, unfortunately.
