COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 14 wonderful years, we have been creating libations for ourselves in the hope that some others out there would share our eccentric palates and support us. Many thanks to all of you who do! Here is yet another quirky brew: a very dark and different, dry-hopped ale. Style? hard to say, you decide. Just expect massive molasses maltiness, limitless fruits on the nose and an imposing floral & zesty dry-hop finish. Peace to all and follow your dreams!

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - FEB 3, 2008

Dark mahogany with a red hue and a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, malt, caramel, fruit and hops. The flavour is sweetish but with a nice hoppyness and a surprisingly nice bitterness. It has notes of malt, fruit, grapefruit, hops and the finish is dry. IMO a tiny bit out of balance, but it is a very nice beer! Thank you so much Tom/After4ever!!

Headbanger (2072) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - JAN 30, 2008

22oz bomber-A dark brown body with a nice tight tan head which emits an aroma of hops, sweetness, malt, and a little chocolate. Taste of this full bodied brew comes across with malt, slight alcohol, sweetness, chocolate, and malt on the back end. A nice tasting brew but not getting the hops on the back end like everyone else so I don’t know if it is the age of the bottle or my taste buds.

jason (1670) - Easton, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 25, 2008

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown body with thin head. aroma is choclate, malt, soy sauce, lite hops. Flavor is bitter, lightly hopped, sweet malt and chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. I wish I could have drank this one fresh to experience some of the hoppiness people were talking about.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - JAN 24, 2008

22oz bottle - Odd, I had this one months ago and don’t have my review entered. Anyway, it poured dark brown and mostly clear. It had a caramel malt aroma with some citrus hop notes. The flavor was sweet malt with chocolate and those nicely balanced citrus accented hops. I’ve noted that this big beer was very enjoyable without completely blowing me away. Another job well done from Avery...

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 24, 2008

(22oz bottle) Large, rocky beige head atop cola black body. Aroma is moderately sweet, herbal, some grapefruit, caramel, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, plum/raisin, herbal, chocolate, vinous, floral/grapefruit, caramel. Low carbonation, sticky full body. A hodgepodge of flavors, the net effect of which is a whole that’s less than the sum of its parts.

SQNfan (591) - Wheaton, Illinois, USA - JAN 24, 2008

Deep brown in color with a tinge of red. Scents of plum, dark carmel, orange zest and citric hops. The palate shows the hops toward the finish. Nice density in the midpalate which showed nice richness leading toward the dry finish.
