From a cheap can this stuff pours like a darker iced tea with an off white foamy head that fades to about half inch.Nose is a malty spice and possibly some honey. First taste is quite boozy; this is gonna be a sipper fer sher. Spices are very present and the combination of heavy spice and boozy sensations makes this quite a clash on the kisser. Very mouth coating and burly. Not sure if I'm getting the cider, but the cinnamon is adding an odd presence. Like the lake erie monster of the south bay area, this stuff is dark, snake-like, and aggressive. Whew. Somewhat typical high alky spice bomb, similar to many domestics of the style. I think I'm catching a little buzz near the end of the session. Phew, gee whiz, golly gosh, good gracious, and whoa! There, you have it. Extra rating point for the mind numbing sensations on the finish, hehehehhh.
