Dark brown/black color, medium head. Heavily hopped, medium malts. Roasted malts with “caramelized brown sugars”. Heavily hopped, intense malt flavor. A cross between an IPA and a brown ale (Scotch Ale). It has the maltyness of a scotch ale with the hop kick of an IPA. Interesting beer. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is bitter, somewhat malty.

Pours a very dark brown with a small tan head that doesn’t last long. Very sweet tasting, but the hops, malts and carbonation of this brew are in perfect balance. Very smooth and highly drinkable, the high ABV may sneak up on you.

Big roasted malt nose very reminiscent of a porter. Dark brown pour with a nice tan head. Big malt flavor at first cut through by a nice hop bite in the middle with the roasted malt flavor lingering at the end. Very nice beer. Thanks to jayme_9874 for this one.

A delicous hybrid beer with an alcohol content that really sneaks up on you. Sweet, but not over the top.
