Murky orange-ish brown, not much foam.

Sweet malt.

Brandy is pronounced and very apple cider-y. About what I expected, though I'd like the base to be prominent. Stronger hop presence could help, something close to herbal.

Low carb, smooth.

Bottle pour - deep orange garnet with short eggshell head leaving a ring of tiny bubbles and scattered lacing. Nose is sweet and boozy. Taste follows similar to Helldorado with a boozy barrel influence. Warm sweetness lingers on a slightly woody and dry finish. Reminds me of drinking brandy on a frigid winter WI night.
