Poured mostly clear amber/copper color with a rocky somewhat persistent head.
Aroma includes nuttiness, raisins and other sweet malty notes with a bit of alchohol. Flavor has a sour acidic twang with roasty, nutty, and sweet raisins. Fairly light fizzy mouthfeel with coffee and other roasty flavors coming through in the finish and some residual sourness.
