maybe a hint of the fabled chocolate in the dark caramel malts that do a great job balancing the big earthy hop flavor and lasting bitterness,

Score: **4

Hazy dull dark amber. Chewy caramel, earth, and woody slightly oxidized malt on the nose. Chewy, earthy, lagunitasy character. Very bitter and dry, and also rather chewy.

Beautiful amber color. Very nice hoppy and malty aroma; I like particularly the resiny side of the hop. Strong flavor with a medium body strength, strong sweet caramel flavor, that the (strong) hopping balances it quite well, and a long final; the alcohol is warming. Powerful.
