2008-05-17. Dark amber body with a quick beige head. Hoppy aroma, modest green resiny hops. (7+) Flavour is similar, with a good amount of bitterness, resiny hop character, and a solid malt base. (7+) Average plus palate. (3+) . Pretty solid, quite drinkable. Alcohol is invisible. At Rudolf’s, shared by Blankboy

Oct 10, 2008 Intense gobs of pine resin, rich malt. Its massive, mouth-coating, malterific. Almost too big i dare say. the malt does take over a bit. Palate is the same as the nose. big and and flabby to tell the truth. Decent

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to Hophead22, thanks. Poured deep red in color with nice off white head. Aroma is very malty with not much else going on. Taste is similar, and not balanced. Not pizza ports best.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle shared by wolf. Damn the aroma smells like a malt bomb exploded into my glass. Dark red in color, average head. Taste is the same as the aroma, malt malty, and maltier. The description say hop, but they were not in this bottle. Not balanced at all. Not that enjoyable either. Texture is stout thick... Not bad but not great as well. Thanks wolf for sharing.

Oct 4, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a creamy off white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet caramel malts, melon, and piney grapefruity hops and a touch of alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts, pepper, alcohol, sour apples and tarry hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a velvety finish.
Overall, almost an awesome beer. The flavor was a bit subdued and didn’t do it for me.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a hazy golden color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting and had good lacing. Good malt and citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick & smooth texture. Moderate to heavy well balanced smooth flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Standout brew.
