12 ounce bottle. Pours a somewhat clear mahogany color with a small white head. A sweet nutty aroma with some caramel and fruity hops. A interesting flavor with spicy rye, some caramel like sugars, spicy hops, something almost tropical here. Light simcoe does show in the finish with a bit of resin. Very interesting.

Pours a dark amber/brown with a thinner khaki beige head. Sweet, hoppy, spicy nose with some tea leaves, pine, and refreshing citrus notes. Taste is fairly sweet but slightly more bitter. Palate is fuller bodied and dry, especially on the finish. Very nice.

I wouldn’t particularly categorize it as a strong ale....pours brown/red with little to no head, no lacing. Smells is aromatic citrus and fruit, somewhat hoppy. Has the palate of a lighter IPA, bitter, clean and refreshing. Finish is crisp and clean. Very satisfying beer.

Extra from beersis
Pours a very dark color, only ruby when you hold it up to light. About a finger of white head. Smell is fruity, citrus and red fruit, and sweet. Taste is powerful floral hops, rye, cherry, fairly bitter but a nice sweet tea aftertaste. Very drinkable, medium bodied. Pretty damned good beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a nice dark red and has a nice roast and alcohol scent. Has nice imperial qualities and has a super nice bitter going down.
