Pour is a hazy brown with a large white head. Aroma is a nice toffee, caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is a nice molasses and sugar with some leathery, earthy malt. Finish is sugary sweet with some black strap molasses. This is a super sweet beer but it has plenty of other flavor aspects coming thru to make this a solid beer.
