The Ill Tempered Gnome pours a nice burgundy color with about a finger of brownish white head. Drained rather quickly to a skim with solid lacing. Aroma is dominated by a very rich, dense caramel malt. Getting some raisin, toffee, and candy sweetness. Some dark fruit esters and spicy hops.
Hits the tongue a little dry before developing a creamy caramel flavor. Very rich. Has a rather tart spiciness to it. Some woodiness. Some berry fruit flavors and strong bitterness finish it out. Spice and fruit linger for a bit. Body a little on the thin side, especially for the style. Decent carbonation. Quite smooth. Tasty and well worth the price.
