Dark brown color with weird colored head. Aroma of rotten vegetables. The taste was the same with weird semi sweet karo syrup roasted flavor. Shit! 2 drain pours in one night.

This has got to be one of the best non-english bitters I’ve ever had. The bitterness was at a perfect location - not up front at the nose but yet not lingering in the throat. Even the person I was with who doesn’t like bitter beer surprisingly liked this one

From notes on a bottle that was a couple of years old. Pours murky brown with hints of amber and a medium off white head. Aroma had dark chocolate. caramel, and earthy notes. The flavor had caramel malt and some cirtrus, but the surprise was how well the hop bitterness held up. The finish was all bitter. I had almost completely forgotten about this one.

On tap @ Buffalo Bills poured a lightly hazy amber with a large lasting eggshell white head. Aromas of earthiness, pine, carmel and a hint of grapefruit. Palate was medium bodied, smooth and slightly dry. Flavors of carmel, pine, earthiness, orange and a hint of grapefruit with a smooth lingering bitter finish. This is far from being the "bitterest" beer in America!

I’ve had it on tap at the brewery and it’s everything everyone described - fresh - so it’s not for everyone but it’s a swirl of flavors.

I have no idea how old this bottle is. Tried this in celebration of a friends divorce. Pours dark brown and murky with the slightest ruby edges. Dusty malty mouthfeel. Syrupy sweet palate, with some maple brown sugar and caramel toasted notes. Rich hops and ruthless bitterness as the label implies in the finish. Held up well.
