The Pour - Pours a brown color with a tan head and good lacing.

Taste - Malty, earthy and dark fruit.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and body. Smooth.
Drinkable - A little past it's prime.  In my experience Iron Hill corked bottles do not age well after a year or two.  Given that, it's still a good beer.
