Average-looking especially for the style. Clear, mahogany, mediocre head. Aroma is pleasant and does not suggest its being 10%. Has smoke, liquid bread and is quite nice. Silky smooth mouthfeel with low carbonation but a bit slick feeling. Innocuous, strong, not overwhelmingly flavorful but nice sweet sipping beer.

Poured a dark bronzish/brown color with orange highlights. The light tan head dropped to about 1/4 inch and eventually just a film. The film still left a bit of lacing. There was a nice caramel sweet aroma with a hint of hoppiness. The texture was creamy and a sweet caramel flavor. There was a slight warm sensation from the 10% alcohol on the finish, but in general the alcohol was hidden pretty well. Enjoyed this beer a lot!

Reddish-amber. Light head. Some burnt phenols, dark cherry and light chocolate on the nose. Chewy, with some bubblegum and burnt dark fruits but the package lacks cohesion. Plasticy phenols detract from everything. Sweet, cloying finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with a small fading white head. Aroma of clove, banana, and vegetables. Flavor is very vegetal with cauliflower. Oddly sweet with also a stale wheat flavor and soda. Ick. The flavors were not meshing for me in this one. A pretty bad, and strange, beer.

Pretty nice beer here. High in alcohol but also refreshing and dangerously drinkable. Deep amber-brown color with just a very thin, patchy head. The aroma is quite nice, wheaty malt, banana, vanilla with a spicy-mild alcoholic scent. Sharp and tangy flavors, bananas, cloves, dark fruits, with a spicy finish. This goes down very easily but don’t let that fool you, the 10% abv is not a misprint.
