| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 20, 2009 very interesting beer. definitely the strongest one i have had to date. considering how many ibu’s it has and how hoppy i heard it was suppose to be i found it instead to be quit sweet. the hops were there but not like i was expecting. that in no way takes away from this beer though, i think that it is as perfectly balanced as can be and has an incredible aroma. it did take me about 45 minutes to finish one off though.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Certainly strong, but you won’t notice it while drinking. Lots of carmelized fruity notes. Raisiny. Frankly a bit too raisiny for my taste, balanced toward the sweet side. 12oz bottle pours almost orange in color. I would describe this as being to beer what Port is to wine. acblue (52), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 19, 2009 Smells almost like nail polish remover, but in a good way (if that is even possible.) Very very sweet and then very very bitter. Hides its ABV as much as possible, but at 18% it’s going to burn a bit. patrickfannon (299), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Split this beauty with Sean. Pours deep, cloudy orange with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of hops, cinnamon, raisins, honey, wheat, and hints of citrus. Medium to full bodied with a sturdy, hoppy finish. Brilliant lacing. Not one trace of alcohol in the flavor or mouthfeel. Excellent IPA from an amazing local brewery. Allen (1335), Switzerland
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Bottled. Courtesy of joss. Appearance: It pours an extremely murky copper beer with a small head. Aroma: Walnut, a lot of caramel, faint coffee, marzipan, cedarwood, moss, geranium, lemon peel, menthol, figs, slight dates; and to my surprise: no hop components which I can relate to! Plenty of character and deeply inviting. Perfumy. Flavor and palate: Full bodied. Sweet. Very syrupy, almost strictly medicinal. Practically no carbonation. Long finish which isn’t bitter at all despite the 120IBUs? Overall impression: Terribly smooth. What a beer! Thanks a lot joss! Magnificent! Sonicdescent (376), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 10/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Difficult to fault this one for lack of head due to the ABV. Scent is booze over sweet citrus. A little acetone. Gets high marks for not smelling as boozy as it really is. Taste, while boozy, actually seems less so than the lower ABV WWS. Palate is great. Taste is closer to a barleywine, a big sweet mess that works better than it should, but overall is just too big for it’s own good. sfhodense (554), Odense NØ, Denmark

Aroma is loads of hops, citrus, grapefruit, grass, high alcohol. Flavour is high alcohol, loads of hops, grapefruit and citrus. twindog (85), Hampstead, Maryland, USA
