Murky orange-brown-black body, thin ring of cream bubbles. Aroma akin to a boozy caramel apple cider. Heavy, slick, sweet body, lots of oak, apple brandy, and layers of sugary-caramely malts. A damned good fireplace beer. The only thing I would change is boosting the carbonation to play off the heavy base.
