Commercial Description:
A classic English Style, this strong ale offers a huge body that is dominated by a malty sweetness. Shag bark hickory syrup adds a spiciness and high alcohol strength to this richly aged beer. She Devil Imperial IPA: This high gravity pale ale has a beautiful pale copper color with a delicate, somewhat spicy hop aroma. A full malty flavor that has some fruity, estery overtones is offset by a long, clean, lingering hop bitterness.

Bottle shared by TomDecapolis. Pours a nice deep amber color with virtually no head. Aroma overall is a little odd. Some floral & citrus notes, caramel malt and alcohol. Flavor is of dough, caramel malts, a little citrus.

22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a deep amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, citrus, caramel, woody, and there was something there I just couldn’t figure out. Tastes of tofee, caramel, citrus, and nutty. Medium alcohol finish.

Poured a lightly hazy, red amber color with a small, off white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of light floral hops, citrus fruits, a bit of metal, light DMS, with caramel, and some alcohol as well. Taste of maple syrup, some caramel, cardboard, toasted dough, with dry grapefruit, and some alcohol in the finish as well.

Murky chestnut body topped with a small, ecru head. Fruity aroma with notes of alcohol and malt, molasses. Medium body with a slight syrupy feel. Flavor was dark dried fruit and alcohol. Not a bad barleywine.

Hazy brown/amber with a very small head. Delicate aroma with a good bit of honey, some tobacco and cherry notes. Flavor is quite sweet, with much of the character of a nicely aged English barleywine--tobacco, walnuts, honey, cherry. Good dry bitterness finishes it off. Surprisingly impressive.
