Dark brown. Not much head. Has almost a fruity note, lots of nuts, maybe a touch of smoke even. Light body for the style, with a burnt fruit, a little bit of honeyish sweetness, definitely some alcoholic strength. But all told it's fairly light and not especially complex for the style.

Bottle: Poured a black color stout with a nice light dark beige head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of chocolate notes with some light roasted malt and oak notes. Taste is a nice mix of chocolate notes with light residual sugar notes and light oak notes that rounds off any rough edges. Body is light for style with good carbonation and no real apparent alcohol notes. Not the most complex stout but still very enjoyable and drinkable.
