Oct 30, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with a minimal white frothy head. Aroma is very hoppy and floral with some sweet malty undertones and some pineapple and grape fruitiness. Flavor hits very quickly with sweet fruit and caramel malt notes followed by a strong hop and spice kick. The bitterness lingers in the mouth and throat. Medium-full body and and average carbonation. Good all around, did not find myself aroused but it was nicely balanced and comfortably hoppy.

Oct 2, 2008 On tap: This poured a deep red/brown in color with a very thin head. The nose showed off the hops along with roasted malt. The palate also showed off the hops ending with a dry bitter finish. The hops overwhelmed a bit for me as I would have liked some of the malt to emerge stronger.

Aug 25, 2008 Had a glass of this on tap at the Blind Pig in Champaign. I have had a handful of Dark Horse brews, and was excited to see this on the menu. Came out a deep mahogony color with a very frothy one finger width white head. The aroma consisted of a lot of hops with a floral background. Tasted of a lot of caramel malts and hops with a interesting roasty malt character. Finished smooth with a lot more flavors coming out in the end. This was a very tasty brew! I am glad that I had the opportunity to try this one!

Jul 22, 2008 This one is a bit heavier than the description tells, it heads into the 9.5% ABV. Very warming imperial red. Taste of subtle hops and roasted malts. As for the aphrodisiacs, I don’t know if they work but I had a great night.

Jul 20, 2008 Draft at Hopcat. Poured hazy brown color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate to heavy toasted malt, hoppy and herbs aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting complex beer and I hope the stimulative factors do not work, I am traveling from home.

Jul 13, 2008 draft at flossmoor station. pors dark red with off-white head. aroma of hops and malt (mild and airy). flavor is hoppy and spicy, with a touch of caramelly creaminess. i cant pick out any specific spices, but their supposed aphrodisiac qualities were completely lost on me. maybe i shouldn’t drink so many.
