Dec 11, 2003 I fear with aging this would only get even sweeter, not more mellow. Grapefruit and some floral hop aromas, in great abundance. Hi alch burn. Syrupy and sweet - hop liquer, someone said? Sure but I think there's some sweetish malt too. Hard to tell. What an experience! Thanks to BHB one last time!

Mar 10, 2005 Orange-amber hue, with a light foamy head. Sweet fruity nose of apricots,oranges and even grand marnier liquor and a floral hop aromas, follow through a sweet medium-bodied palate with candied oranges, marmalade, apricot flavors, a bit liquorish, where the alcoholic warmth is ticking my nostrils leading to a light hop bitterness finish.

Sep 3, 2004 Updated: Aug 4, 2005Bottle. Light copper in color and very clear. Small cream colored head. Good lacing. Not bad. Decent bitterness, not as bitter as I was anticipating. Tastes slightly of cherry and cedar. Good sweet bitter finish. Very nice.

Dec 29, 2003 Updated: Jan 26, 2004Much awaited. 60 and 90 were good. 120 that much better? Not to me. Amber body under white head. Fruity aroma. An unusual, strong flavor. Good, but did not live up to expectations.

On second thought:
Had this again at a beer tasting and it was delicious. Don't know why. Definitely a good one.

Aug 16, 2004 An interesting beer, or maybe super beer. Bottle. Deep red-orange color. No head to speak of. Aroma is malty and hoppy. Nice balance in the aroma. You can smell that this will have lots of residual sugars. Taste is at first sweet. Some nice malt tones mixed in and a background of hops. Certainly not like the 90 minute. I would buy a bottle of this yearly.

Jan 14, 2008 2007 Bottle from Midtown Wine, courtesy of my lovely wife. Pours orange with a thin off white head. Nice huge grapefruity hop aroma, with some rich sweet toffee malts and alcohol in the background. This is full bodied with a slight syrupy texture. Whoa! What in the hell is this?This is merely thick sweet caramel with a shit load of grapefruit bitterness. Finish has some dry hopped leafiness, joined by alcohol. No complexity and transitions are not smooth. Sort of a hop bomb meets liquer. The only redeeming quality is that the alcohol is subdued for 21% A sipper, but not a good one. Extreme? Yes...an extreme waste of 10 bucks.

Sep 29, 2004 Amber colour, very little head. Oily hop aroma with notes of marzipan. Full-bodied, sweet, oily, fruity and strong; tastes good!

Oct 27, 2006 Pours deep amber into a snifter. Off-white micro head quickly recedes. Very different aromas -- but the alcohol pervades and tingles. Syrupy with upfront sweet caramel and a lasting alcohol finish. I did two things wrong - had an aged bottle and drank a ruination before this one...more sweet than hoppy.
