4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
I finally got to tangle with the bastard. I shared a big bottle of this with a good friend today. This all natural brew pours a clear ruddy red with a large creamy light brown mostly diminishing rocky head that has good lacing. The nose is bold but clean with sweet and toasted malt balanced by grapefruit, flowers and light spice. The big warm taste is spicy and balanced with no shortage of complexity and bitterness (a plus - right up there with Alpha King). The medium chewy and creamy body is outstanding with a soft carbonation that finishes clean. One of the best I’ve tried so far.

Nice hoppy ale that leans toward the bitter end of the spectrum.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2007 Re-rate: Murky deep orange color, with a nice sized tan head. Huge pine aroma, starts and ends very bitter. Very aggressive and tasty. Old rating: 22 OZ bottle: A sweet cascade smell that is enchanting. Nice bitter, malty taste, yet very smooth. If you think that Molson is good beer, you aren’t worthy.

Hah! I finally found it, and it was definitely worth the wait and travel. Really, enjoyed this brew, and its heavy, hoppy, punch definitely came as a pick-me-upper. Not only that I would stock my fridge with, but certainly one I’d get again.

A nicely hopped, well - balanced English Strong Ale. Beware after drinking 2 or more bottles !!!

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2004 3/14/02 I like it !!! Very bold, but good for a change of pace. 1/30/04 Deep mahogany color with a frothy mocha head. Rich barley wine like aroma with a touch of grapefruit. Flavor starts rich and caramel sweet followed by some intense hop bitterness that is well balanced by the malt. Finish has a dry stout like bitterness. Palate is rich and smooth. By GOD, I am fucking worthy!
