Commercial Description:
Lacking nothing, at ten percent alcohol by volume and 95 International Bitterness Units, the Decadent truly represents all that is self indulgent when it comes to drinking beer.

Dark amber Off white head and spotty lace. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Citrusy flavor combined with a bit of iced tea. Cloyingly sweet.

Pours a brownish amber color with very little frothy head. The aroma is a very sweet malt fruitiness with some raisin plum notes and a moderate alcohol presence. Flavor starts very sweet and fruity like the aroma with some hop spiciness that builds during the finish. The alcohol hits during the tail end and lingers for a little while. Medium body and a bit syrupy. Not bad but definitely not a go-to imperial IPA. Good for the price.

Bomber via bikeandbeer, this has been in my fridge chilling for at least a year. Pours orange with an off white head, muted hops nose and taste hidden alc eh after a year in fridge it makes sense that things ar muted.

Beautiful amber color, with a big creamy head. Sweet and fruity aroma (mango? apricot?) Then some herbal hop comes out. Good body structure, with sweet toffee flavor, and a fruity bitterness, but not extreme. Very good.
