This was a STRONG ale. The pitcher affected my tastebuds for a while. Still a great house brew. A nice dark drinking beer.

Looks like a puddle of something dark; but oh the taste is to 'crawl' for. GO THERE and believe! Not for dinner, not for snacks, only for the chance to be with IT!

A good strong ale. The beer with a similar name that is currently offered at Dr. Dremo's tap house in Arlington is not nearly as good. This one was very good example of a strong ale. Tons of hops tons of malt. Borderline barley wine. I miss it so.

Massive is right! Everything about this beer is huge. I only had it once a few years ago on draught when the brewery and pub were in Arlington, VA but I have never forgotten it. I remember more malt and caramel than hops, but the complexities in this beer were marvelous.
