Pours a browney-orange (amber, I guess you could say) hue, very clear appearance with no sediment. Good, very dense creamy head, not going anywhere. Good bit of webbed lacing.

The soap from the bathroom lingers on my hands and is encroaching on the smell of this beer, but I think it's also just a bit weak. Possibly poured too cold. It smells quite sweet, with a cinnamon-sugar element as well as a fairly distinct sour element reminiscent of underripe grapes or cranberries. Quite nice but could use more aroma.

That mouthfeel is magnificent. Very, very creamy and smooth, like Kilkenny only smoother, feels like I'm pouring soothing cream down my throat. Flavours are underwhelming, either as a result or just coincidence. Slight sour elements with the slightest hint of a burned flavour on there. Not much of the cinnamon promised on the nose. A hint of apple on the front but just a hint. Finish is slightly bittersweet, could maybe use a slight bit of extra hops, but it would be very easy ot overdo this, and OH! That mouthfeel... Seriously, don't change a hop for me. *drools*
