3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear, dark ruby red in color. Thick, frothy head with Constallation lacing. Aroma consist of licorice, alcohol, and a.hint of cherry. Taste like hard alcohol. It really does taste like cheap whiskey. Medium carbonation with a sticky texture. It has a long hard alcohol finish which kind of turns me away from this beer. If I wanted hard alcohol I would have had a shot. Not for me.

Pours an opaque ruby/amber with a thick tan head...nice lacing and retention. Aroma has some caramely notes and sweet, floral hop notes...pineapple and peach. Flavor has some cereal and loads of hops...earthy, tea, grapefruit, mango, spice...each mouthful showcases different and great hop qualities! Mouthfeel is full...oily and the finish is bitter and dry.

Pours red brown amber, totally clear. Small head, Smell is super potent, rich caramel and spicy hops. Like a lot of caramelized malt, and its thick, but its off set by a huge hop presence, maybe like some pine, but not really super citrusy, just like hoppy bitter smelling and earthy/spicy. Taste has big alcohol upfront, but its not a burn, it blends well with that huge spicy hop. Then big caramel comes in to bind everything, but the alcohol and hops are always there, and interplay with the hop’s huge 100 IBU bitterness. Each of the components are distinct and hugely present. Mouthfeel is on the fuller end of medium bodied, which just suits that caramel character of the malt. Finish is caramel, hop bitterness and alcohol flavour all at once. Huge beer.

Bottle from a trade with 5000. Pours clear dark copper color with khaki head. Pine and citrus aromas with caramel malts. Sweet caramel and toffee malt flavor with pine and citrus with moderate bitterness. Very nice. Thanks Andre.

Thanks to boney for this. Pours a dirty brown with a small white head that quickly disappears. Aroma is a great piney, earthy hops and loads of malt. Taste is surprisingly a great balance of sweet malts and a great pine and earthy hops. Surprisingly hoppy that is. Masks how big of a beer this is.
4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Huge thanks to Dajtai007 for sending this as an extra in a past trade.
Pours a cloudy dark amber/chestnut color with subtle golden edges and a two finger frothy white head that slowly fades into a lasting ring. Large chunks of soapy lacing coat the glass.
Floral hop aroma with some citrus and pine but the malt presence is a bit strong with some caramel, toffee and nut.
Thick, chewy mouthfeel with a blast of dry, bitter hops that dominate the flavor, lingering over the sweet malt backbone into a dry finish. Earthy pine needle flavor with resinous hop oils countered by tropical and citrus fruit notes as well as a decet malt character that provides balance without detracting from the hops. Just a huge beer with huge fesh hop flavor. I had never even heard of this brewery before but I loved this beer.
