(draft) Dark and sweet. There was a slight bitterness to the finish that made me want to take another sip right away. The description says molasses, but I didn't get any of that. I got more of a fruity flavor that might have been plums or cherries. A very pleasant surprise was that it's not that strong (7% ABV). A very good beer that I will probably drink until it's gone.
UPDATE 011408: This year's version seems a bit more malty than that of previous years. Also, I finally detected some of the molasses that's always been advertised. I can't say that this year's version is better than before, but I also can't say that it's any worse.
