Sep 21, 2007 I really had fun with this. A Jewish friend picked this out of the cellar and we split it. I was really impressed with it. It was well hopped and thought it a little tart.

Sep 21, 2007 Pours a clear but very dark amber with a sizeable tan head. Nose is highly hoppy. Strong resin tone with a bit of cotton candy I think. Fruity citrus edge as well. Flavor is definitely hopped, of course. Strong, stringent hop flavors kick you in the mouth, but not too abrasively really. It may be an over the tope type of ride, but it doesn’t go too over that top. Feel is bordering on a bit syrupy with all that stuff in there. Carbonation seems high with the massive head, but not a huge amount of bubble going over the tongue. Initially I was going to give a 4 on the drinkability on this one. But then I realized that the 10% alcohol on this one doesn’t peek out at all as you imbibe. Overall, this is nothing absolutely outstanding to behold, but it is very good all the same. Worth a try, especially for the price.

Sep 19, 2007 Updated: Sep 21, 2007650 ml. Dark brown-amber with a medium and lasting head with some nice lace. Aroma is burntish caramel, fruit and cocoa.
Flavor is similar on beginning, with a nice slide to more bitter resin in the middle, and a sharp, bitter citrus, and apple finish. Aftertaste is bitter chocolate, herbs, and coffee. Palate is medium bodied and smooth with a nice dry and tingly finish.

Sep 9, 2007 Dark brownish caramel colored brew, thick foamy head. Mild yet consistent aroma is sweet citrus with notes of caramel. Deep dry bitterness fills the palate. Very strong citrus acidy flavor, nutty undertones. Powerful hops presence. What an incredible warmth through out the torso. Umm good.

Sep 6, 2007 Wonderful aroma. Hops and caramel. Flavor is dominated too much by bitterness and is a bit thick. Flavor is still pretty good; the rye makes it different in an okay way.

Sep 5, 2007 bomber. the pour is very clean looking. the color is a nice shade of re/brown or garnet. the head forms like latte art, with traces of brown appearing in a mostly off white foam. hops are on parade along with a hefty amount of sweet malt. caramel and pine. big and intensely sweet. horehound candy and herbs blend in the malt with hints of licorice. a fine piney bitterness controls the long ans flavorful finish. great stuff!

Sep 5, 2007 Fricking enjoyable. Not quite up to par with Lenny Bruce and "Mask Man" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZMTPGc0Z6A
But still, thick and chewy and good!
