Feb 10, 2006 Nutty brown in color with a rich complex aroma. I am amazed they got the alcohol level so high and keep it hidden so well. Must be time released =). This brew is so mellow with complex flavors on the malt side and well ballanced. You gotta try this ale. So warm, smooth, and silky, like a soft winter blanket.

Jan 13, 2006 This strong ale pours a deep red brown from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasty malt, chocolate, grapefruit and floral hops. A medium bodied American Strong Ale. Malts are chocolate, caramel and sweet. Hops are grapefruity. Malty and sweet, touch of fruit, hint of cola. The hop bite is there, but not really strong. A very drinkable and smooth strong ale. Hides the 8.5% alcohol very well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is bitter.

Jan 9, 2006 Pours a deep brown color. Subtle aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Huge flavor of chocolate and roasted malt. Giant body, big and dry texture, soft carbonation. Perfect Palate.

Jan 2, 2006 Dark brown pour. Aroma has some chocolate, roastiness.... basically what you would expect from something of this color. But as others have said it’s not that intense. It reminded me of a subdued, almost watered down porter, but with more biterness than even an Alpha Klaus. It’s worth a try, but I’m glad I split the bomber with a friend.

Aroma is not very concentrated, but I get some malts and dark fruits. Black in color with a modest tan head. Some licorice and anise in the fore and a smooth backing of malts with a bracing of sweet dark fruits. It could be more concentrated flavor wise, but it touches the bases.

Dec 26, 2005 Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a half-inch foamy cream-colored head. Aroma of earthy, sweet caramel, milk chocolate and lots of piney hops. Body starts with a nice malty sweetness balanced fairly well with bittering and flavor hops toward a mildly warming, slightly sticky finish with some lingering milk chocolate. This beer kinda reminds me of Flying Dog Gonzo. Nice, but not great.
