Dark brown, almost black beer with a thick, fluffy head. Aroma of dried dark fruits, raisins, figs, slightly sweet roasted malt. Very strongly roasted flavor, burnt well with medium sweetness, a touch of citrus sourness, spicy. Lots of dried fruit, Dry roasted malt finish, burnt. Superb balance. A marvelous beer. Great with cheese.
