From a bottle. Pours a murky brown with a scant head (not very inviting). Aromas of caramel and sherry (very inviting). Flavors are sweet toffee, oak and sherry with some booziness. A sipper, but definetly not a drain pour.

Can: almost clear, yellow-gold with an annoyingly oversized and slowly receding off-white head. (pour)......wait.......(pour)..............wait.........(pour)...........................wait....... Yeast, lemon aroma. Taste is mildly bitter lemon-peel, grain malt, yeast.....a bit of mustiness..... Nice body.......almost lagerish in feel. Pretty tasty.......honestly worth the ridiculous time it took to pour it.
