Acacia congesta is an intricately branched, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–2.5 m (1 ft 8 in – 8 ft 2 in) and has dark grey bark. The phyllodes are variable in size and shaped, with one more or less straight edge and the other edge convex and partly near the branchlet, 5–30 mm (0.20–1.18 in) long and 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) wide with a prominent midrib. The flowers are borne spherical or oblong heads in axils or on the ends of branches in short racemes on peduncles 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) long. Each head contains 30 to 70 golden yellow flowers. Flowring time depends on subspecies, and the pods are thinly leathery firmly papery, brown to yellow, curved or coiled, somewhat resembling a chain of beads, up to 60 mm (2.4 in) long and 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) wide.
