Nate (2239), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 27, 2007 Bottle courtesy of foureyedgeek. Great hoppy nose, sweet and malty with a good amount of floral and fruity hoppy notes. Alcohol vapors, caramel and toasty butterscotch. Clear dark amber with thin off-white lacing head. Heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with sugary maltiness and caramel. Great bitter finish that isn’t overpowering but well balanced. Fruity hop tastes, alcohol warming that’s almost reminiscent of a barley wine. Honey sweet finish with dry nutty after. Nice ale.
