Holy heck, the aftertaste is still on my tongue--and I drank this last night. Pours very dark & is served in a weizen glass. Smells of roasted malt and nuts and initial taste is very good, and tastes as such. The finish is very long. It leaves a metallic (almost chalky) taste in the mouth. Bitter, salty tasting hops makes you salivate while you’re drinking it.

Pour is dark coppery amber with a thin skin of a tan head (again, due to the bartender)...smell is sweet at first with lots of toasty maltiness, but that turns a little "foresty" with lots of "foresty smells" like pine, other trees, light smokiness...taste is not has sweet as the smell...more hoppy than it smelled...light sweetness from alcohol, but mildly hot...not overpoweringly so...just a strong soapy bitterness...I don’t see how this is 9%...finish is strongly bitter...

Pours a beautiful dark color with a nice complex malt aroma. The flavor is a wonderful mixture of smokiness and sweetness with a rounding out of roasted malt. A great drinking beer with a very satisfying malt presence.

I’ve had this on nitro and on Co2 and honestly the nitrogen kills all of the maltiness this bad boy has to offer. POured into a weizen it looks like deep dark darth vader juice. Thick and sloppy. Nice dark head. Smell is so quaffable I almost don’t drink the beer. Notes of caramel, vodka, juniper, elderberry, and scottish soil. Flavors are even more rich, as the mouthfeel rounds out all of what the nose has to offer. I love this brew with a passion and if you ever see it again you must have it. G-rat
