Really nice beer. Dark with about a half inch of white head. Very fruity and fairly strong. More of a sipping beer than a steady drinker.

This beer is pretty good and I would buy it again. Not too sweet and the hops stand out. Slight bitterness. Spicy and earthy are there but the body isn’t. No head is bad. Flavor is good with burnt dark fruits. Spices are dry on the palette. I paid 10 bucks.

Pours black with a couple fingers off white head. Smell is rich belgium yeast, sugary, maybe some light fruit. Taste is crisp, maybe a tiny bit tart, red fruit, very rich, caramel. Pretty good.

Sikash (27) - North Carolina, USA - APR 29, 2012
Poured into a 10oz glass with a nice white head that does not last long and leaves minimal lacing. Smells of molasses raisin, bananna and a decent undertone of alcohol but not too strong. Tastes of bananna, spice of some sort and a bitter aftertaste of alcohol but it hides it well. Medium body and not too carbonated. Overall a delicious beer.

My nose is off. depending on jakebra for that. Lovely dark murky color. Perfect balance of dark malts and hops, delightful! Smooth velvety palate. Probably the low point of this beer.

BARLEYWINEO (106) - Tacoma, USA - APR 28, 2012
A: Poured a deep brown with a nice dirty white head S: Vinous grape and slight alcohol aroma and molasses T: A sweet refreshing kick characteristic of champagne initially. Delicious molasses undertones mesh beautifully with the vinous taste. Hints of blackberries, plums and strawberries. Leaves with a slightly sour/bitter aftertaste. Abv is detectable, but not dominant. M: Absolutely amazing. This beer has a ridiculously low viscosity, yet it moves in my mouth like a thicker beer would. It is astoundingly smooth and incredibly refreshing. O: Great. It is soothing and delicious, very easy to finish.

Well, with a name like Terrible, they had to be pretty sure of their product. Mostly dark brown with big khaki head and some lacing. Smells of booze, cotton candy, and herbs. Sweet then dry. Fairly lively mouthfeel. Warming quality. Not too much lingering sweetness.

HopTsing (153) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - APR 25, 2012
From the bottle came a dark amber brew with a thick, fine head. Floral aromas mixed with malt and bubble gum. Flavors pretty much the same. Medium bodied and very tasty.

Dark as night, but what an amazing beer. Spicy, flavorful and smooth with just the right about of bite. I'm a huge fan of this brewery, they never fail to impress. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Malty aroma with a smooth taste. Rather carbonated for my liking, but the flavor is very good.
