Poured from a 500ml bottle into a Speiglau BA glass.
Look is absolutely opaque with a dark tan head.
Aroma is strong apple brandy with a light roast malt.
Taste is much lighter than expected. Almost like a apple brandy cocktail.

L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a dark brown / black color and an opaque consistency. There was a big, creamy, tan-colored, fairly long-lasting head. Not much head, though.
S: A nice aroma of malt, smoke, oak, apple, and some chocolate.
T: Tasted of whole bunch of smoke (much more evident when you're first drinking it), a tinge of apple, a good amount of malt, light chocolate, a bit of booze, and oak. A very solid flavor that's a little bracing at first, but gets better as it goes along. Complex and interesting.
F: A good amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: This is the kind of beer that won't please everyone, but it's definitely worth a try. Drinkable.

Creamy chocolate with slight hints of oak chips. Faint red apple finish. Not bad
