Color is a deep brown, a mahogany really, almost completely non translucent. There's allot of life from what I can see against the side of the glass and the top of the head. The head is very thin, you can see were the bubble streams come up. It has a very malty nose, somewhat fruity, you can smell the alcohol. It has a fruity molasses flavor, which sounds like it would be terrible on paper, but it's good in practice. Mouthfeel is suprisingly mid bodied for such a dark beer. It is quite acidic, almost painfully so, I'm sure that will go away as it warms. Actually, if you let it sit in you're mouth for a second, it completely fades away, but it does some on very strong. The molasses has faded away to a caramel flavor now, the fruitiness has become less ambiguous and now carries the flavor of raisins. we'll see what else changes as the beer gets warmer.
Well that's it, this has probably been the shortest review I've written. It was a good beer, I would have it again. I give it my blurry seal of approval.
