Bottle. Reddish/brown color with a good off-whiter head. Malty aroma with a little pine. Flavor has more hops than I thought. A little acidity and a little roastiness/nuttiness. There's a slight astringincey in the beer that isn't quite so smooth, but it's still easy to drink.

A red or amber beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straws, caramel, and hints of roasted bread. The flavor is of roasted malt and good hops - both aroma and bitter - with fruit and caramel notes in the middle. It ends on an OK bitterness. The body is a little thin.

First off, if you like Guinness, you should love this. It has the great creamy mouthfeel of Guinness, but also an outstanding full bodied roastiness in both flavor and aroma. Tending to the sweet side, yet well balanced by the roastiness. Nice lingering hop aftertaste. Very well done. Nearly opaque dark brown to black, dark brown head.
