Jan 4, 2009 From bottle... poured really nice cloudy orange with sizable white head. Typical but stronger aroma, but it added strong alcohol too. Flavor was overpowered by alcohol which was just too much for me to enjoy the beer. Also, creamier and less bitter than I liked. I was disappointed because everyone I know claims to love this beer. I might try this again some other time, but based on my first experience, this is a beer I just can’t love.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours an orangish color and cloudy with a medium head that disappears quickly. Lacing is excellent. Aromas of citrus, wine, and a bit of grapefruit. Creamy start, oily in the mouth, and sticky finish. LIvely carbonation but surprisingly smooth for such a powerful beer. Tastes of citrus, grapefruit, with a very nice aftertaste of port. Almost the perfect taste for a beer!

Jan 1, 2009 Updated: Feb 18, 2009Cloudy appearance. Extreme citrus on the nose but also medicinal alcohol and esters. Taste like aroma but also overly sweet. Not really all that tasty, but certainly

Jan 1, 2009 2008 vintage. 12 oz bottle.
Pours cloudy orange with a nice two finger, slow to disapate, creamy tan head.
Aroma is ruby red grapefruit crushed with lots of pure cane sugar. It literaly smells like you took a 5 lb bag of grapefruit, placed it on a 20 lb bag of sugar and stomped the hell out of it. One whif and you can tell this beer is well rounded.
Flavor starts out a bit sweet, almost sugary, but is tempered by the caramel, and the well defined grapefruity hops.
Slick, begining mouthfeel almost detects high abv, but by the way it goes down you would never know. more please

Jan 1, 2009 Aged for 2 years. First I will say that the color perfect copper orange glow. Nice lasting head. Aroma is medicinal hints of iodine and varnish. Flavor bitter grape leaves much like the aroma. Sweet and syrupy licorice. Bitter going down the throat. High alcohol numbs the lips and hits you quick. Very unique smooth heavy duty beer.
This might be good over pancakes. The ultra black hole anti-hop beer.

Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a moderate sized white head that has decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is obviously laced with alcohol, but it weaves in and out in between fruity and woody. Smells very intriguing. Flavor is malty sweet with a big perfumy/earthy/floral presence. Very different. This is definitely one of the most unique beers I have ever had. It’s a sipper, for sure. A true luxury for the taste buds.

Dec 30, 2008 Don’t try drinking this one cuz its a sipper. You gotta give your palate some time to take in all the flavors. The strong flavors. Sweet, hoppy, and powerful. If you take your time.....you will really enjoy this one

Dec 29, 2008 Pours a deep, rich auburn...almost burnt siena. It smells of cannabis and earth...very sharp. This beverage tastes very flowery...like eating a flower bed, also very sweet...almost brown sugar. After the head disapates, leaves a silky swirl that paints the top. Swirling the glass leaves a thin film that slowly falls back into the glass. Although, this is a bit overwhelming for my tastes, it was good. I could only drink half a bottle however.
