Some minor hop presence as well. madmitch76 (653), , Essex, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2009 16th May 2008. Smooth chocolatey start with a faint molasses tone. This leads quickly to fruity hops that are not bitter. A little like a barleywine but this is something different. Habanero (641), Tranbjerg, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 27, 2007 Bottle. Darker brown pour than I expected, even after reading the description. Dry hopping is outwardly apparent, aroma is large but rather simple and malty. Flavor is decent - like a dark DIPA with less hops. A nice ASA with a good mouthfeel. Avery has better, but I enjoyed it.
