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.

Opaque rusty oranue, fresh citrus hop aroma, lots of citrus flavor, grapefruit city, but obviously strong, nice bitter finish

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!

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.
