UPDATED: DEC 21, 2008 Pours a very deep mohagany/brown color body with a super sticky off white head. The aroma is very roasty with some really nice hop notes and some earthy tobacco. The flavor is a complex blend of coffee, walnuts, grapefruit, pine needles, mild cigar, and subtle oranges. Very drinkable. A very nice surprise.

UPDATED: JAN 29, 2011 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vibrant ruby chestnut color with a huge orange-beige head that lingered - perfect appearance. The aroma was full of pine, plum, cherry, resin and cocoa. The flavor was sweet, bitter and had noted elements of plum, apple butter, grapefruit, resin, cherry, caramel and a touch of cocoa. The finish was long with fruit, caramel and pine. Thick and full bodied. Incredible.

Incredibly phenomenal fresh hop monster, well done Victory. Brown color with a dark copper tint. Large, bubbly khaki head and great foamy lacing. Resinous pine and grapefruit aromas galore followed by orange marmalade, light caramel and clover honey. One of the freshest hop aromas I’ve ever come across. Bitter hops with a lightly sweet malt base this beer is aggressive, sturdy, and dangerously drinkable. Soapy citrus hops ringing with grapefruit, lemon and orange. Loads of sticky evergreen. Biscuits, toffee and mild glazed doughnut malt flavors to back up the abundant hops. Beautiful beer, all around spectacular.

UPDATED: JUN 28, 2012 12 oz, bb Nov 5, 2010. Clear copper-brown with a huge, lasting billow of foam. Nose of orange, tea leaf, resin, sawdust and molasses. Starts the same, with a big finish of oak, pecan and resin. Smooth medium body is well-balanced and crisp on the finish.

pours mahogany brown with a fluffy tan head. aroma is sweet, sticky aromatic resiny hops and caramel. nice malty edge. flavor is BITTER floral hops, caramel, dark fruit. loads of malt, bold spicy, earthy, succulent hops. finish is long, dry, bitter. thick and heavy strong ale. glorious.

Bottle from red carpet. Pours a dark transparent red brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is strong wih both hop and malt. Lots of pine, roast, and citrus. Flavor is perfectly balanced sweetness and bitterness. Tons of pine and a good deal of roast with a nice nuttiness and caramel sweetness. Sticky and resinous, a long pungent finish, and moderate carbonation.

pours a clear deep reddish brown color with a decent sized off white head. aroma smells like heaven. great sweet smelling hops. crisp hoppy bite with piney and citrus tasting hops. nice malty balance. i just picture this beer as something you have for the transition into spring. days are warmer and longer and you’ve been drinking stouts and porters all winter. just a phenomenal beer.

pours dark brown with brownish semi-frothy head. aroma of hops, roast chocolate and malts. the flavour starts out with hops. the middle is when you taste the malts and chocolates. the finish is medium-high bitterness. this was an awesome beer. would love to try this a little fresher to really taste the hops. im reluctant to finish the bottle just because i dont want it to be gone.

Very thick, creamy and tasty ale. This has a bitter kick after a drink, definitely one of my favorites

Pours deep garnet with a two-finger mocha head. It is damn good looking, almost like a barleywine. Nose has plenty of resinous piney hops with a slight bit of citrus in there. Taste is well balanced between sweet and bitter with a brightness to the palate. I want to run out and grab more, seriously, this is fantastic. The darker malts give it a complexity and character that really complements the hops and works to cover the 8.7% ABV. Well done.
