Hazy red. Good head as poured, with good retention and lacing. Tart, strawberry aroma with a cocoa under. Tart, strawberry, thick. Guess the thickness is from the marshmallow as I'm not getting the taste. Perhaps a hint of chocolate in after? Got home and descovered this entire volume had been soaked through by hand wipe juice (squeezed beween the pages while in my bag), but fortunately dried out readable. Had to make a few guesses here and there, but honestly no more than after a regular heavy session...
