tan/brown and dark enough you can barely see through it thick foamy head and lots of bubbles yeasty burnt malt smell not as fizzy in my mouth as i anticipated based on bubbles med/ful body and a little tart/acidic i’d like this more if it wasn’t bottle conditioned. good body but yeast get in the way of complexity
