A strong pour is needed to reach a half finger of short lived tan creamy foam that quickly drops to a thin cap and ring. Spots of lacing remain after swirling. Semi-opaque dark brown, almost black with ruby highlights in front of bright light.

Bakers chocolate leads the smell with coffee, toffee, roasted nuts, spiced apples & pears, milk chocolate, roasted grain and toasted pumpernickel. There are some clove and allspice lurking while candied apples sneak in.

Semi-sweet with low bitterness, chocolate continues to take charge during the taste. The roasted malt character is well pronounced with a slight astringency. Complex flavor without any item being to strong, almost balanced. Caramel malt flavor rises equally with bitterness towards the long finish as flavors slowly diminish. Roasted malt and spice linger a while.

Medium-full body with plenty of soft carbonation held conservatively in reserve. Smooth and session-able, big on the palate yet not overly filling. Alcohol is hidden, bitterness is low however spicy hops shine.
