on cask at the swiss tacoma. had it on tap first ..great. then on cask even better. pretty dark,nice round flaver that hides alcohol very nicely. i would have to say one of the better strong ales I’ve had lately

Burgundy red color with a thin off white head. Toffee and malt aromas with the sting of the alcohol. Low carbonation and thick full body. Molasses, carmel, and toffee and definate flavors. A heavy, sticky, sweet alcohol finish. At least it’s quick.

Clear mahogany appearance with an average size beige head and modest lacing. Caramel malt aroma with hints of molassas and dark fruit. Sweet, malty taste moderately offset by earthy, roasted flavors. Hops are a little more prevelant later on the palate and help it from becoming too cloying. Smooth, medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel with a lingering finish.

On tap at Ginger Man. Has a dark ruby color with a medium light tan head. The aroma is fruity and malt. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is sweet with a nice bitter finish. A good english strong ale from Lagunitas.

This is good. It sends the hairs on the back of your neck a’ waivin and makes your eyes cross. JK. Really liked how it made me drunk. This is better than Gnarly IMO.

decent head, pours darker than expect, like grade b maple syrup. quiet aroma of sweet sassy mo-lassie with a mild hop presence. the alcohol is balanced but at the forefront. notes of burnt sugar in the finish. play it again sam

Syrupy, without a head, dark, stewy fruit flavors and some boozy and bitter dryness finishing things out. Not the quite the description of what I like, even if I love this brewery.

Dark coper with light head that hangs around. Nice bready malty aroma with a touch of allspice and some hoppy presence. Quite sweet and smooth with a nice underlying hop bittering touch. Nice balance from front to end.
