A - Pours out a brown color with a strong reddish hue. A small, short-lived head that did not leave any lace.
S - It smelled of malt and fruits. Also, a chocolate-like aroma.
T - Tasted malty with a roasted quality. A subtle bitter bite.
M - Fairly crisp. It is a little bready, too. A mediu-bodied brew.
D - A very good beer. Despite the high alcohol content it wasn't very noticeable.

Just bad.
Sweet like candy and almost medicinal.
Syrupy, low carbonation and a low alcohol burn.
reddish brown color and a really nice looking beer.
This was like a badly balanced barley wine beer.
