12oz bottle. Pours deep red with a foamy white head. Heavy carbonation. Aroma is of hops, alcohol, caramel, pine, and dark fruits. Taste is of hops, citrus, caramel malt, dark fruit, and pine. Lingering alcohol presence. Thick, almost gritty mouthfeel. Overly malty, but very drinkable and tasty.

Brown in color with amber highlights and an average sized off-white head. Aroma is of malt, some light floral notes and bread dough. Taste is of caramel and malt with a light hop finish.

Bottle. Malty aroma. Mahogany body, small off-white head. Flavor is very caramelly, moderately sweet, permeated with alcohol. A bit of bitterness in the finish.

Deep red pour with an off white head. Flavor is carmel and roasty. Flavor is sweet and thick, but lacks the hop presence i want. Flavor is too one dimensional. Alcohol is hidden well, though.

Brown pour with a dirty white head. Malty aroma or caramel and some roasted notes. You can barely taste the 9% but it does come through. Some dark fruits and malt in flavor with a hint of hops and a mildly dry finish.

Dark mahogany pour with a minimal tan head. malty, dark fruit and hops aroma. Big, thick, sweet, but not too sweet, hoppy, and a little alcohol. Nice clean finish. Excellent.

Bottle at Second Cellar Reduction. Light tanhead and amber body. Smells of biscuits and fruity hops. Tastes like peach and hops. Good stuff.
