Flashlight shows a hazy deep mahogany color, head retention is light, smells of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, raisins and chocolate; wow! The taste is dark chocolate and chai masala on a thick, full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter, with notes of herbal and spicy hops and a hint of alcoholic warmth. Overall, damn this is amazing; definitely my favorite beer aroma ever, and the flavor is pretty damn good too, very rich and complex, with just the right amount of bitterness.
