Oct 16, 2008 Courtesy of Eli. Pours dark brown, but not the midnight absence of color of a lot of RIS. A thick, dark tan head. THe aroma is a deep roasted sweet coffee/ caramel latte scent. Flavor is an extremely burnt flavor. Extremely bittersweet, with very little middle ground. Thick, but not overwhelming. Leaves a nice brown sugar and burnt bitter flavor on the tongue. Very good RIS.
