bottle. pours deep orange red with a sizable off white head. leaves plenty of lace. aroma is lemony and resinous hops. taste is very smooth. low carbonation, creamy malt backbone, and a moderate bitter hop. no hint of the high abv. sweetness is held in check just enough by the hops to keep from being cloying. spicy hops become more distinct as you drink. mmm.

Aug 20, 2008 Aromas of floral citrus hops and a clean solvent like burn. Fruits include raspberry, plum, apricot, pineapple and pear. Malt is in the background.
Sweet and woody flavor, with fruits hitting up front. Good hops dose straightens it out in the mid. Mildly bitter bisquit and chocolate finish. Some nuttiness, kind of reminds me of a brown.
Syrupy texture, astringent mouthfeel. Fairly heavy, zesty palate with white wine bite.

Aug 20, 2008 The label doesn’t joke around. Probably one of the strongest ales I’ve ever drank. I pounded one and after I stood up I was like no way I’m tipsy already but I was.

Aug 20, 2008 When I read "you probably won’t like it" I knew I was in for something, but something this good, didn’t even cross my mind. What a HUGE ale. Get some!
