Commercial Description:
Don't be fooled by the label depicting a Grim Reaper Santa Claus in a sleigh pulled by skeletal reindeer - this is not a Christmas Ale. "Sleighor" is an Imperial India Pale Ale. The intense hop bitterness, flavor and aroma will dominate at first. To complement, the body has a complex blend of malt and alcohol flavors. The ABV is 9.1%, and the IBU's are pushing the mid 80s. The entire family of Cascade hops is used. Cascade, Centennial and Columbus are spread throughout the boil, and a huge sack of Amarillo for dry hopping. The hop combination gives this brew a distinct profile true to its IPA roots. The presentation is clear copper with a thick tan head, coupled with billowing citrus and floral hop aroma. "Do You Dare" to enjoy this fine ale from the Reaper? Brewed at Sudwerk for ReaperAle.

94? Wow! This was gross. Hopefully, this was a bad bottle but I doubt it. Didn’t taste infected or like cardboard just tasted bad. Tasted like astringent smells. Just harsh on the palate and harsh flavors to boot.

22 oz. bottle. Pours medium brown with a hint of red and a very tall tan head. Aroma has floral and citrus hints, but the maltiness dominates with nutty caramel, toasted bread and a touch or roastiness. Flavor is powerfully bitter but without any real subtle malt characteristics. Seems more like a barley wine to me. Palate is thick and sticky and carbonation is high.
