Obvious alcohol taste and aroma, but not overpowering. Almost a liquorice flavor at times. Savor this one, takes a long time to finish, good choice to share!

I love this beer. I can’t buy it in Georgia due to beer laws, so everytime I go out of town, I bring one back. The aroma is very strong of alcohol, but the malts and hops hide the alcohol in the taste. Taste of pine, caramel, slight citrus. This is definitely a special occasion beer. I wish I had more excuses to drink this beer. CaptBier (303), Birmingham, Alabama, USA

The aroma is sweet and dominated by alcohol but also with notes of caramel and portwine. The flavor is very sweet, but to my suprise not with much hops in the flavor just a hoppy dryness in the end. The alcohol is very present in the flavor - so much, that it almost burns your tongue. Not at all what I expected, but an extremely good beer. t4h2c0 (82), seattle, Washington, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 9, 2008 This beer is a serious kick in the mouth, extremely hoppy while still very malty. You can really taste the alcohol in this one, that makes this beer a sipper for sure, and after a few glass you are already feeling it, hell ya! Thick and syrupy, small white head, overpowering hop aroma and flavor. This beer sits on your paIate until you do something to clear it, very lingering aftertatse. I like extreme and over the top. nqualls (1428), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Aroma was, you guessed it, very hoppy. Pours a very hazy gold color with a mild head. Very easy to drink. Well balanced. rustychiles (1068), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 6, 2008 On tap @Papago Brewing. I’ve had many bottles before, but on tap this is even better.
Pours a hazy dark yellow to almost brownis red with a small white head.
Aroma of hops, citrus, yeast, malt and alcohol. Lots of malt sweetness balance out the hop bitterness in this one and in the end this ends up being a fantastic brew. Reminds me a lot of a barlewine, only bigger despite being classified as an IIPA. Big beer, but very well done DFH. cakanator (41), Northampton, Massachusetts, USA

Dark syrup heavy nose like your gonna have a cordial. Tons of hop and flavor plus a great balance make this worthy of aging a long time.
