Commercial Description:
This is a lacerative muther of a beer. The evil big brother of Arrogant Bastard Ale. It is strongly suggested you stay far, far away from this beer. Those foolish enough to venture close enough to taste will experience a punishingly unforgiving assault on the palate. ’Course there’s always the masochists...

Pint on tap with thortheviking after devils/islanders game. Pour is maroonish brown with slight suddy white head atop. Sticky with plenty of piney and citrus hops, malts, and sweet dark fruits...then some more on top. Palate is tingly and spicy. Indications of alcohol but amazing well hidden, like a troll under a bridge. Made my soar throat all feel better. Maybe the cure for swine flu

Pineapple nose. Opaque copper, thin yellow head. Full bodied, resinous mouthfeel. Extremely hoppy pine flavor with a fair malt backbone and grapefruit accents. Pine and plum finish. It is what it is: a hop bomb, but a good one. Alcohol almost unnoticeable. Do not pair with anything sweet, it will clash.

An ale lovers dream. Better for your first round. This beer is strong and should be enjoyed with a fresh palate.

this beer is big in every way. murky brown color. malt and alcohol smell with resin hoppiness as well. the flavor is a deep malt and a hop linger afterward. Alcohol notes permeates this but is used well.

Bottle: Poured a murky copper color with a fluffy off white head. The aroma is full of hops and roasted malts. The taste lashes your tongue with piney hops, there is also a nice malt and alcohol warming to sooth the pain.

Resinous piney aroma. Pours a dark brown with a billowing tan head that fades to sticky lace. Heavy thickbitter start with a hop explosion that just coats everything.....so over the top but lovely. Full long finish.

Copper & golden with a nice off-white head. Malty and bitter at the same time. Lovely, but honestly, the words on the bottle are worth the purchase price alone!
