Near black. Thin head. Light body but otherwise has the burnt pine forest that had a grow op in it vibe.

Dark brown, chewy, lots of coffee, rich chocolate. A little light on the body, maybe a bit too dry.

Can acquired in trade. Right as I pop the tab, I'm hit with a snootful of maple and cinnamon. Pours cola black with an equally fizzy cola head. Maple and cinnamon in the glass barely let a small note of whiskey smell get out. The taste is more balanced though. Strong whiskey blended with that maple and cinnamon(I'm repeating myself). Almost syrupy thick. Almost more like corn syrup than maple. Finishes very nicely.
