Very cloudy, dirty looking copper color, or say a dirty penny. Looks good! Hardly any head to speak of as well as little lacing. This smells like a barleywine almost. Big thick caramel malt, toffee, fig, alcohol, brown sugar, hints of hops, raisins. Very complex aromas hard to keep my head out of this one. First thing that comes to mind after a sip is MALT. Wow this is malt bomb. Hides the alcohol extremely well. Not picking up as many of the subtleties as the nose but still good thick complex flavors. Very drying to the toungue, big toffee flavors, roasted caramel malt, nutmeg, hazelnut, and fig. Lacking in hops to balance the malt. Still very reminiscent of an barleywine or old ale. Thick malty mouthfeel, very creamy. Large rustic tannins. I like it! The high alcohol seems to only really affect the nose, not much in the mouth, yet because it is 12% hardly a session beer.
