Just tried some of this last night and really enjoyed it. A nice, easy to drink brew with plenty of alcohol. Especially fun to alternate with Dogfish Head's Raison D'Etre.

I want to marry this beer

A bit on the bitter side but good none the less.

I bought a six pack of this, and after drinking the first one, i was about to dump the rest down the drain. The next day I decided to give it a try again, and it was like a totally different beer. After that i drank the rest of the six pack. I would highly recomend this beer, although it has some bite, once u drink one it really grows on you.

Pretty nice tasting beer. However a very strong taste of alcohol. Gets yeh pretty drunk however.

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2010 A bit pricy here in the states, but will get the job done. Got a strong bite to it, with some good alcohol percentage. :)

As a homebrewer and aficianado of alcoholic, malty, hoppy brews, I really like this beer. Good mouth-feel. Nice color. Big bubbles in the carbonation and head retention could be better, but in all honesty really good head is hard to find. A nice brew for those who like strong beer.
