GregClow (2492), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 16, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc & tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Ruddy amber with a good sized white head. Aroma - holy crap, that’s nice! Big hops with a strong malt backing, aggressive without being obnoxious. Flavour is similarly big, with a lot of malt and a lot of hops, balancing each other very nicely. So damn tasty! Mmmm!
Nephilium (541), Ohio, USA Nov 3, 2009 This starts out with a blast of piny hops, that fades into an aroma of chocolate and biscuits. Pours a dark ruby red, with a huge fluffy light tan head. Flavor is a bit of sweet dark fruits, a touch of alcohol heat, and just a bit of bitterness in the finish. I wish I had a chance to try this one fresh... I don’t think the year was kind to it. dagimp (104), Philly, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 2, 2009 Batch E!014. From a 750ml into a snifter. Pours with three fingers of head and lots of carbonation, but little to no lacing. Mild aroma of malt and a little yeast, some plum too. Taste is dominated by the hops but there’s a lot of malt, this being a strong ale. Cherries, plums and yeast also round out the flavor. Unfortunately, the hops are too bitter and dominate the flavor for the worse. A little more floral hops, rather than the biting and bitter hops would make this an excellent beer. However, it’s very good, allbeit expensive. boamr (112), Pennsylvania, USA Nov 1, 2009 Pours a dark amber color with a nice off white head. Has a amazing smell of wood, molasses, vanilla and little bit of hops. Taste is more of the same as the smell. shawnm213 (841), South Bend, Indiana, USA Oct 31, 2009 fucking shit this beer is trickto. pours a head,. notes of braed, and some other shit. notes of citrusy hiops and some ither doggy dope shit. go fuckut yoursulf if you dont like this ber. this is the shit. fuck yea bitches. go fuckigng suck a fucks a beigfe with a weired haze. head ideep dark purple hze colr with travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Oct 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to thirdeye11.

Diogène (542), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Dark red-brown with a medium off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, candy, fruit cake, figs, caramel, spices and hops. Flavor is very interesting at first with a complex malt profile, fruity esters, alcohol, spices, fruit cake and and hops aroma; then, a gigantic hop waves comes and kill this very interesting malts flavor. Its an interesting beer, but less hops would do it some good. ericandersnavy (1038), crossroads, Texas, USA Oct 14, 2009 bottle thanks to thrideye11. poured amber with an off white head. aroma of caramel, dark fruit, citrus, orange, and cinnamon. flavor had all the same aspects as the nose. heavy body with light carbonation.
