From old notes:

Dark brown, mostly clear with light brown foamy head of moderate retention. Cinnamon aroma predominant, not so much cocoa. A little more cocoa on the palate, but cinnamon is almost cloying. Some roastiness and dark fruit character, but very mediocre. Medium in body and creamy to effervescent.

Drank from the bottle so I can't comment on look.
Smelled of chocolate and spices, maybe malty.
Bold, dark chocolate taste. Good on a cold winter's night. Light carbonation and went down smooth.

Dark black color but a thin head. Nice spicy nose with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, anise and some cocoa.

The flavor is reminiscent of a pumpkin beer with the nutmeg and allspice taking the forefront. There's a nice maltiness, chocolate perhaps, with some light coffee bean. I catch cocoa powder, roasted coffee and toasted barley.

It feels thin and cheap but overall this is a pretty decent beer.

Appearance: Pours a black cocoa color

Overall: Real good winter beer. Perfect mix of roasty cocoa and malts flavor. Worth a try.
