Style: American Strong Ale

22oz bottle. A good looking dark brew with a nice head. The aroma is lightly sweet with malt. The flavor is very enjoyable with a unique combination of caramel and chocolate malt, pine hops, spice and a solid body. Very unique and most enjoyable brew. I’ll get another bottle and drink this again!

Pours a dark copper color with a light tan head. Aroma is of molasses, citrus hops, caramel, dark fruits, and some alcohol. Very complex aroma. Starts of with sweet malts, molasses, citrus hops and some toasted malts. MIddle flavor is of dark fruits and nuts. Finishes with floral hops and alcohol to give it a delicious ending. I really enjoyed this brew.

Bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown, with a big, tan fluffy head. Prominent bands of lacing on the glass. Big plum aroma. Caramel, licorice, molasses. Fairly hoppy. Some nice chocolate. Pretty cool. Dried fruit flavors, with a rich brown sugar taste. Licorice, molasses, fig, nutmeg, and a nice spicy mouthfeel. Simply delicious. Bitter finish, and well-balanced. Surprisingly easy drinking. A very unique beer, and was definitely surprised by this one.

Dark brown body, small tan head, chocolate in the nose. Malty, chocolate, spicy, somewhat hoppy, hides the alcohol well.

22oz bottle: Deep, dark brown pour with a thick and lasting mocha colored head. The nose offers a fantastic balance of citrusy hops, caramelized malts and sublte oxidation. Thick, chewy body offers an array of aged malt. Notes of burnt caramel, cookie dough, fresh dough, brownie batter and honey. A splash of orange and grapefruit hops balance the sugary malts. The bitterness is subdued, but the balance is there and this drinks really well. Oxidation is starting to become apparent, but it adds to the overall complexity.

Clear darker brown pour with ruby redness. Thick tan head. Heavy aroma of malt and molasses, toffee, sugar, hops, and a bit of fruit. Complex taste. Malt and sugar up front, very reminiscent of a tripel. Fruits and bread in the middle, with some cherry and tobacco. It lingers for a bit before the dryness of the hops kick in. Some smoke and metal with the hops, and a semi-dry finish. I’ve never had anything like this before.

Very dark mahogany color that lets just a little light through. Thick, rocky tan head that leaves plenty of lace behind. Interesting aroma, toasty/roasted malts with undertones of cocoa powder and caramel are predominant with piney hops in the background. Buttery caramel flavors fade into grapefruit zest and a lingering pine/spruce bitterness. Aroma alludes to more maltiness than what is actually tasted. Flavor is definitely dominated by hops.

Flaske. Fantastisk flot sort øl. Kraftig duft af humle, men på den helt rigtige mouthwatering måde. Smagen er ikke så bitter som de foregående DIPA men er så meget mere balanceret. Ønskede bare at drikke mere.
