Bottle @ Goodbar Beer Club. Nose is light honey malt, alcohol, undefined floral & tea hops. Flavor is light caramel malt, slight butterscotch. Nice solid bitterness with creeping alcohol.

Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #14 of 90. Tap at B-dubs downtown Indy. Pours deep golden, minimal head...much lighter in color than I expected, I don’t know why I expected it darker, but I did. This has a sweet malty aroma with some hops mixed in. Taste is a good malt balance with earthy to citrusy hops. A decent amount of carbonation, and I wasn’t blown away by the alcohol. Pretty good.

A golden beer with a decent head. Aroma was sweet, & malty. The taste was sweet, malty, & very bready with a taste that I can only describe as a malty middle.

Bottle - Pours a deep orange with a deep haze, off white head with a lazy fizz. Raw malt aroma with a citric undertone. For a 6.5 ABV there is a very strong alcohol hit up front, afer that hit there is a bready, orange and malt hit. Dry lingering finish, soft flowery hops.

Looks like a cloudy amber orange. Half finger of bubbly head. Looks like and IPA with more cloudiness. Looks thick & substantial. Strong piney hop flavor. Heavy alcohol scent backed by a dry ale-malt smell. Citrusy to balance heavy alcohol. Good stuff. Major blast of citrus (orange) and apricot flavor, with a strong alcohol flavor that is offset by the dry, bready malt. Strong but balanced, not overdone. A real strong ale, no extreme beer fetish. Feels milky and thick. Smooth like a hefeweizen. Buttery and leaves a watery film. Strong but really drinkable. Nuanced and flavorful, especially considering that it’s so strong.

Pours a golden orange with a white head. Strong wheat nose, some bread and a lightly roasted/toasty note hidden in there. Taste is clean malts, and a mellow bitterness. The taste is long. A really good lager.

Extremely good, maybe they will have some troubles with the copyrights of the logo but the beer is defenitely good.

Mt Vesuvius was bottled up as thing gushed out all over the counter and my beer list. Mildly hazed amber with a rapidly descending off-white topper. Aroma of heavy toffee, toasted malt, fruity yeast and some citrus hops. Taste of toffee, caramel, light citrus, alcohol and a touch of bubblegum. Moderate bitterness and sweetness on the finish.
