Style: American Strong Ale

Bottle. [Courtesy of Papsoe, thanks Henrik] Large and nice looking creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Color was lovely mahogany. Aroma of caramel, hops, fruit with some berries and spice. Seams very aromatic hoppy which would indicate a heavy dry hops process. Very full bodied with an average carbonation, dry and light alcoholic texture. Moderated bitter flavor with light sweet notes. Dry and bitter finish. Very drinkable. 15-08-2007

Pours a nearly opaque with dark mahogany hues and a thin, airy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel with a hint of dark chocolate and big grapefruity hoppy notes with some doughy Belgian yeast. Body starts with a nice dark caramel malty sweetness and some plum and raisin complexity along with good bready yeasty balance and plenty of fresh citrusy hops throughout. FInishes with a crisp hint of lingering roasty bittersweet dark chocolate. A very unique and enjoyable Belgian/American strong ale. It’s kinda like a double IPA with some chocolate malt and Belgian yeast. I just wish this would be bottle conditioned.

cola colored, tan head, clear, fair lacing. i get the aroma of raisins (maybe the described molasses?) and belgian yeast...oh and alcohol too. flavor is light alcohol, mild hoppiness (spicy?). This is a weird beer. I drank half of it before rating it and could not peg the style at all. This one is all over the place, at least to my palate.
