Jul 4, 2007 Pours an amber copper color w/ a full, semi creamy froth. Good hangtime w / nice residual lacing. Aroma is full on sweet and smells more like ripe black cherries than pomegranate. Full nectar w/ ample effers that are delayed and mellow. Big malty backbone infuses flavors of brandy, black cherry, pomegranate, and citrusy melon rind on my palate. Its moderately sweet upfront. Theres an appropriate strict bittering that follows the sweet malts and miraculously balances it all out. This peachpit style bittering starts mid palte and digs in to linger to the finish and as I said, it balances this fruity sweet brew out competely. As the sweetness bitters it turns citrusy ruby red grapefruit.

Aug 2, 2008 Carmaly biscuit aroma. Fair carbonation. Redish-orange hue. Malt has strong presence much like a barley wine. Hops are very very low, and bitterness as well. Any bitterness comes from the tartness of the pomegranate. Tartness and frutiness mingle with the malty body. Easy to drink, smooth palate. Alcohol well hidden. Overall a very good beer.

Oct 25, 2007 The beer releases from the 22 ounce bottle reddish amber with a large creamy of white head that slowly fades leaving the lace a firm sheet upon the glass. Nose is rich in sweet malt, the big hop flowery aroma under pins the malt, citrus like in its crispness, fusel alcohol quite noticeable, grassy, start has a pleasant malt presence, alcohol and hops pound the palate, top is medium to full. Finish has a stern acidity; the hops potent, alcohol blast the taste buds. Aftertaste dry, most certainly a belly warmer, I think a little aging would help this beer, but for those who like “Big Hops” and “Big ABV”, this is your beer.
