Can. Clear very dark brown with a lasting fat coat of beige head. Aroma of dried and stewed fruit (raisins, figs), mace, licorice, slight roast, dough. Full bodied, lowish carbonation. Lots of dark fruit and sugared dough but plenty of bitterness and spice too. Mace, coriander, white pepper. No overt alcohol. My guess is that some will like it more as the bitterness and spices fade a bit but I like it fine now.
