Jan 18, 2009 Bottle. Moderate malt and hop aromas of roasted, nutty, herbs and pine, light leather for the yeast with background notes of pear, brown sugar and pepper. Head is large, rocky, slightly off-white with excellent lacing and is fully lasting. Color is clear dark amber. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly sweet and acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a soft carbonation and finishes lightly astringent. The long bitter finish separates this beer from lesser American Strongs.

Jan 16, 2009 Amber pour with a big, three finger, white head that slowly fades to copious lacing. Loads of fresh citrus fruit aroma with a very sticky, sweet malt background. Very sweet flavor. Milk caramel notes blended with grapefruit, mango orange and a strange but not unpleasant cheese flavor that almost tastes like good roquefort. Sticky but oily medium full body with plentiful yet soft carbonation. This so close to being cloying but the massive hops bring it back. I think this could be the best beer possible to pair with really funky blue cheeses.

Jan 13, 2009 My dad just brought this home and we just split the bottle. This stuff is pretty tasty. It pours a darker amber with dissapearing head. It’s aroma is sweet, and actually a little overbearing. The flavor is also sweet, but also yeasty and has a slight maltiness in the finish. Oh yeah a more than generous amount of hops! I like this beer a lot. and it fully expresses my enthusiasm for this upcoming administration. GO OBAMA!

Jan 13, 2009 Updated: Feb 3, 2009The strong hop aroma and sharp flavor grabbed my attention faster than a political scandal. A concoction of tasty malt and resiny hops, plenty of both and packed with flavor. Similar to a strong IPA. An excellent beer, one of my favorites so far from Avery. Mr. Obama should pass out a few of these when he meets the leaders of Hamas and Israel. Peace would be on the way.

Jan 7, 2009 Bomber. Pours a clear dark gold with a 2 finger creamy off white head that leaves really nice lacing. Nose is malt and citrus. Taste is caramel malt, orange, tart grapefruit and a long lasting pinesap finish. Medium mouth feel. Good stuff.
