Ruby brown color with a huge off-white head. Pepper and vanilla cake in the aroma, nothing too distinct. Medium weight body, peppery spicy flavor that lingers, giving way to a sticky sweetness yet eventually dry finish. Moderately heavy alcohol presence. Maybe a little bland for the style, though it could pair well a meal.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured a slightly hazed cherry wood color with a large long lasting beige head. Sweet caramel malt and a touch of spice. The flavor is drier with a moderate spice front and dry chocolate back. Dry finish. Mild warmth with a light-medium body.
