It pours very dark brown with hues of red an inch of tan foam, very good retention and lacing.
The smell is sweet malt, wood, hint of chocolate, a bit of leather.
The taste is not as sweet as the smell, woody notes, leather, some vinous notes which I don't care for, and some alcohol.
Mouthfeel starts out but finishes on the thin side.
I have another bottle and that will be the last for me of this brew.

Pours mahogany, looks thick, small head of foam that sticks around, some good lacing.
The smell is malty, fruity with notes of plums, molasses, some nuttiness.
The taste is caramel malt, molasses, fruity with the plums, has a nice nutty character. It has a low level of bitterness and the ample alcohol is noticeable.
Full bodied, quite warming, I would drink this again.
