Almost clear deep coppery amber colour, small frothy off-white head, mostly diminishing, light lacing. Aroma roasted malts, cherries, wood, vinous. Taste light heavy sweet and light bitter, malty, fruity, woody, spicy. Abrupt malty and metallic finish, papery and bitter herbal notes, medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Disappointing, taste starts good but in the middle part metal and old herbs take over in an unpleasant way.
