Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with small whitish head. Intense taste of malt and raisin. Strong on alcohol but not too much. The bottle is maybe a bit too large though. Low on bitterness. maybe a bit one dimensional since it focus on malt.. When it gets warm it is slightly too much alcohol.

Apr 2, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 2009I have had this on tap before, but this one was bottled. The aroma is strong with roasted malt and hops notes of darkfruit and yeast dance around in the aroma. The flavor is the same, but the hops really stand out in the finish leaving a nice alcohol burn in the back of the throat.

Mar 31, 2009 2007 bottle consumed earlier this week. Maybe I’m losing my edge, but this beer was definitely not designed to be drinkable for atleast a few years. The point of this beer seems to be a beverage that just destroys your tastebuds. Tons of malt and hops....wildly out of balance. Plenty of alcohol and bitterness. Dark fruit, alcohol and hop flavor/bitterness DOMINATE the palate. Needs way more than 2 years to mellow.

Mar 31, 2009 Updated: Nov 21, 2009One of my favourites. Always work for me. It’s pretty damn huge with allot of everything yet very well balanced. Lovely malt profile and a perfect amount of hop-bitterness balancing it out. The taste is full of nutty, nougat character.

Mar 31, 2009 Just like the regular, but more - and better - one of the better balanced big beers that I’ve had the pleasure to try, lots of hops, lots of maltiness, supremely well-blended, and just wonderful.

Mar 28, 2009 Heavenly malt, sweet, light hop aroma. Pours a deep cloudy amber with a 1 inch off-white head. Flavor is perfectly balanced sweet smooth mild caramel citrus hop, medium heavy malt and spring fresh mineral. Starts out incredibly smooth, then turns to a slow burn several seconds later. Mouthfeel is pure bliss.
Aromatic and tasty smooth hops. This is the king of winter warmers. Thank God its 50 degrees today in Texas. Lacing is something to be jealous of. Enjoyment factor is high. To be used in only the highest quality company of friends.
