Apr 20, 2008 Tried at Dr Bills. Yet another 10% beer. I wish they would make more beers 10.1%, so I can increase my chances of making the most strong beers tried club. No biggie. Offwhite head. A little bit of cardboard oxidation. From bottle. Not sure of age. Not very drinkable.

Apr 20, 2008 Aroma: sweet, smoky, hoppy, woody, berryish. Obscene, sweet exotic & dried fruit. heavy & coconut-like, yet the mind wanders toward northern millieus...
Flavour: initially sourish sweet, hoppy syrup... big biscuity & raisinlike malt, very good, full-bodied & charming.
Palate: very, very smooth & sugary, slightly rough.
Appearance: orange body w/ yellowish pale foam leaving syrupy lacing on the glass.

Apr 18, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of gunhaver. Poured into a tulip glass. Hazy burgundy colored with an inch of tan head that leaves massive lacing.
Aromas of grapefruit, vanilla, and a bit of boozy hotness.
Apparently this beer is a blend of 90 min IPA and an English Strong Ale, and it tastes just about how I’d expect it to. The IPA contributes the obvious grapefruity hoppiness, but it’s overpowered by the English notes of herbal hops and a tannic woodiness. Not as good as either style would be alone.
Mouthfeel is syrupy but well-carbonated. No alcohol apparent.

Apr 17, 2008 Draft @ papago. A slightly hazy medium amber with off white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a fair amount of hoppiness. Flavor is sweet with notes of fruit, most notably plum, pinneapple, and mango. Malty with notes of vanilla. Warm throughout with a good spicy bitterness at the end that almost offsets the sweetness. Kind of syrupy body on it. Had this in a snifter and let her warm up as I sampled. Took a while. Interesting, but I didn’t get another.

Apr 15, 2008 Poured a hazy dark amber with a thin pillowy off white head. Aroma is sharp malt, plum, cherry, and a bit of hops. Flavor has quite a bit of oak and vanilla up front, with some sweet dark fruit, green apples, sweet malts, and a bit of hops. Finishes slightly sweet, nice mouthfeel.

Apr 13, 2008 Hazy light amber, average off white head and lace. Sweet malt aroma, wood, hops. Nice body, pleasantly sweet, fruity esters, alcohol and bitter end counter sweetness but its a rough finish, alcohol seems to clash with the bitterness and I dont think I like the flavor of the hops used. Does not do it for me.
