May 16, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Miketd! Pours a very dark red color with a off white head. Has a very nice aroma to it that makes me think it has a sweet tart soda like smell to it. Has a medium heavy mouthfeel. Taste is very complex with caramel, butterscotch, and a bold malt upfront taste. The finish on this bad boy has a sweet malt hop mix that leaves me wanting another sip. Overall this is very interesting brew and one I wouldn’t mind having again. Thanks Mike!

May 5, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish body missing any sign of a head. It’s red, alright, let’s see how devilish it is.
Smell: A solid caramel maltiness along with hoppy notes of citrus, tree blossoms, wood, and mint.
Taste: Toasty dark caramel with a medium amount of sweetness. Biting citrusy, floral hop component. Also, hints of wood and dried mint leaves. Earthy, medium-high bitterness. Touch of acidity. Slightly warming on the more than slightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: A bit above medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Stunned to see this is over 10%, I certainly wouldn’t have guessed that. A decent strong ale with a punchy hoppiness.
