On tap in a flight at the brewery. Dark, clear, ruby brown color, with a thin, persistent head. The nose is toasted oak, cinnamon, vanilla, apples, and a faint touch of smoke. Sweet and malty, with a bit of bitterness that balances pretty well. Medium to heavy body, sticky, syrupy, and a little warming. This is a nice example - delicious, malty, and balanced.
