Middling Amber color. Slight watery fruit scent. It's thick and smooth in the mouth, malty with perhaps a tiny hint of bitter. There is a flavor of some odd spice that I can't identify.

Watered down berry--mostly cranberry-- smell. Tart start, quick dry end. Light overall character, buttery finish.

The smell of this beer is very odd, like sesame and pungent lilies. With the toasty, dry, almost umami flavor of the porter, it's not a bad mix. I liked it.
