COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir is cellarable for 3 years.

bottle poured a cloudy amber in color with a big head that almost continued to grow from the carbination. smells of fruits, yeasts, spice, and some hops. taste is as the smell would let you think, good body with a full and somewhat creamy texture, good hops for the beer, spices, and some good fruits. good beer and masks the 9% rather well.

Had the version of 2008, 2005, and 2002 in a vertical tasting. Very nice and still the 2002 version was the best

Poured from the bottle with a smallish off-white head that chose an early exit. Sort of hazy yellow/orange, more yellow but a lot going on in the aroma. Apricot, banana, and spices of clove and cinnamon came through. Much fuller body than I expected - lots of sugar and spice. I enjoyed the flavor, the drawbacks for me being a bit too much sweetness and a slightly chalky finish.

Bottle, thank to SlovakSniper. Clear gold pour with frothy white head. Aroma is very hoppy, almost like an IPA but with a distinct belgian yeast aroma. Taste is refreshingly bitter, light yeast fruitiness and spiciness. Alcohol is very well hidden, I understand better now how I ended up so drunk that night, I was drinking this down like a pale ale. Unpretentious and tasty.
