t4h2c0 (80), seattle, Washington, USA Jul 22, 2008 This used to be my base beer until they raised the price. Pours a dark red and has a strong malty nose. k It used to be a kick in mouth for me but now it goes down like water. Overall, a great beer. This beer seems stronger than 7.2% abv giving the fact at how quick it can fuck you up. Definte boozy tatse to this beer, very complex. I would call it an Imperial Amber ale. ABA bitches!!!!!!!!! Avatar (82), Gliwice, Poland Jul 21, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful, thick, orange big head. The aroma is stunning - so fruity and citrus, sweet. Very deep flavour with pleasantly dry end. Lot of hops and so ’juicy’ as well.
But I hate it! Why should I care?! MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 21, 2008 Pours mahogany with small white head. Nose is hop-bomb buried beneath some malts; citrus, peach, caramel, and pine rule the nose, a slight sweetness emerging within this combination. Flavor is a little sweeter but still with lots of hop. A little sticky and bitter. A good brew for serious hop-lovers. PhatB420 (126), Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA Jul 20, 2008 This is a great beer. Just the smell alone is enough to prove so. the amazing floral expression accompanied the the hop presence and intense flavors brings this beer to a place i wish i could endulge with all beer that i experience. nice. kosko20 (302), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Jul 17, 2008 Aggressive is right! Like punching you in the jaw. Loved it, very bitter but somehow very balanced throughout. I want more. Yes, very complex to where its hard to figure out all the flavors and aromas. xShanex (47), Mansfield, Texas, USA Jul 17, 2008 Outstanding. Pours a rich amber with great color. Head is carmel and healthy. Smell is of fruits and is delightful. The complexity of the taste is almost overwhelming consisting of a few different fruits including grape and I do agree with pineapple. Complex yet balanced with a bitter but refreshing finish. Great beer and packs a pretty good punch. Have another? MANY! gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Jul 16, 2008 Updated: Oct 22, 2008Wow! A dark amber body with a tan head that dissipated quickly. I was smelling a strong pineapple/citrus nose with plenty of hops, but other people disagreed with me about the pineapple. A big, yet balanced, taste finished off one of the best beers I have ever had. AdamSkillin (376), High Bridge, New Jersey, USA Jul 16, 2008 I absolutely lack the qualities of sophistication, palate, and taste to appreciate a beer of this caliber. Very flavorful in every aspect (read: big but balanced), you are a vile waste of human protoplasm if you don’t like this beer.
