Spicier AND fruitier than I expected. Really like the malt and a bit sweet. Spice lingers on the tongue and the malt emerges. Pretty happy with the flavor for the money. Not my favorite but it will do fine on a fall day. Will always keep it in my cabinet. [2.7.16] Knocked off the second bottle during Super Bowl L on a bike trainer. Worked up a decent sweat and found a new level of flavor complexity.
