| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 20, 2008 NEPA case club rocks again as do our buddies in Stockertown. This English style malt bomb marries a hop garden and delivers an orgasm of molasses, pine, grapefruit, cherries, currant with a port-like almost barley wine alcoholic warming to complete the mix. A nice pine cone bite in the end accompanies the initial sweet maple sugar invite. KnN (723), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
