Dec 12, 2009 Bottle 0,355 l. Clear copper, smallish white head with some lace. Nose has some nice caramel, candy, grassy hops and some earthiness. Flavor is floral, candyish and a bit earthy with a bit of artificial touch and some alcohol naturally. The body is not as big as it could and actually it’s not that extreme. Goes down amazingly well for such high abv, much easier drinking than many lower alcs. Pretty good, but too strong to be really enjoyable.

Dec 8, 2009 Half a 12 ounce bottle in snifter. Vintage 2008. Golden orange with ring and some lace. Pine orange biscuit yeast alcohol aroma. Toasted biscuit orange marmalade tobacco with assertive bitter piney hop finish and lingering alcohol flavor and heat. Altogether not bad but too strong. Alcohol is not a good flavor.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle. Murky orange color, little head. Aroma is bitter with citric hops, an alcoholic touch. Flavor has grapefruit, grass and malts in it. A very thick, almost oily mouthfeel dominates the brew. The high ABV leaves an alcoholic aftertaste.
