12 ounce bottle. Pours a ruby red color with a small creamy beige head. Faint roasted malt nose with cocoa and dark fruit notes. Strong notes of cardamom, cocoa and red berries up front. Rich maltiness in middle with a touch of Brown sugar and vanilla. Light spicy hops in finish. The 7.4% ABV provides a warming comfort.
