A- Dark orange. Thick creamy head, lasts quite well, good bit of lacing.
S- Complex caramel, toast, and a good bit of fruit. Specifically there is apricot, peach and a bit of plum.
T- Very, very complex. Caramel, yeast, toast, fruit, and alcohol heat. Starts pretty sweet, but quickly goes into complex flavors with some chocolate. There is just a faint wisp of smoke. Finish is a bit boozy. If I had any criticism of this beer, it is that this boozy finish is just a touch aggressive.
M- Really full body. Smooth. Again, only criticism is it just a bit hot.
O- A top class beer. Glad I finally got a chance to drink this one. Definitely a must try for the beer fan.
