Oct 11, 2008 They weren’t kidding about massive maltiness. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Malt dominates the aroma with some dark fruit, I didn’t sense as much hops, but it is an older bottle. Malty throughout and it was a little creamy as well. Decent brew, almost a little too sweet for me.

Feb 28, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head. Aroma of hops, citrus and malt. Nice hoppy taste with interesting fruity tang that melts into a bitter finish. Pretty tasty.

May 21, 2007 Draught: Dark pour, huge ivory head. Big aroma of dark fruits and some smokiness. Flavor is just all over the place, dark fruits, crystal malt sweetness, roasted malts, smoked malts, floral hops in the background. Mainly dark fruits but with a chewy sweetness and roastiness in the background. Crazy beer that’s all over the place and I need to have another and really try to pull more out of it, just an awesome beer.

Jan 1, 2008 American strong ale??? catagory for beers that have no catagory. Extra points for an alcohol reading to the hundredth decimal point. and extra points for the amazing lacing that followed my drink to the bottom of the glass. real good brew .....give it a try.

Jun 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown/amber with a small lasting light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, light roasted malt, molasses, light bubblegum, and floral and citrus hops. Taste is the same as aroma with a light malty sweetness and roasted finish. Medium full mouth feel with a well balanced bitterness and slight warmth from alcohol. Another great beer from Avery.

Sep 24, 2009 Very hazy orangish color, little head. Bomber of a nose, toffee, raisins, caramel, oranges, alcohol, large! Palate starts to taste like the nose but there is a resinous there pushing back, and a bit of hoppiness. This seems to be more of a barley wine. I like it quite a bit, maybe I can run back to botw to get another to age.
