Medium dark brown color. Someone dumped the spice rack into this with tons of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla.

Aroma is mainly spice with a little Licorice and molasses hint of malt. Flavor is similar to nose but with toasted malts coming out to balance the heavy spices but it’s not very effective. It’s okay but it’s one of my least favorites Stone beers.

Black pour with a small tan head. Aroma of molasses, prune, alcohol, and spice. Sweet and spicy flavor. not nearly as complex as the aroma hinted at. Full bodied.

Bottle at home. Pours deep brown, lots of spice, aniseed and liquorice, bit too much alcohol.

(Bottle) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Roasted, spicy nose with notes of black rye bread, dark bitter chocolate, clove, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, hints of bay leaf, pine needles and some orange peel. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, black coffee, pine needles, black rye bread, juniper berries, spices (cardamom, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) and a generous spicy bitterness in the finish. Full body, fairly dry. Very spicy, possibly not in perfect balance, but very tasty and very nice.
