Commercial Description:
Lacking nothing, at ten percent alcohol by volume and 95 International Bitterness Units, the Decadent truly represents all that is self indulgent when it comes to drinking beer.

Copper colour, the head disappers very fast. Aroma is hoppy with notes of grass, spruce and grass. Flavor is similar, but with perhaps apple flavor too?

Bomber. Pours a slightly hazing dark amber with minimal head. Nose is sweet malt and mild pine. Taste is overly sweet caramel malt, juicyfruit gum and just a touch of resin in the finish. The malt overpowers the hops in this one. Medium mouth feel. Not that good – tastes more like a barley wine.

hazy amber, orange hi-lights, thin tan head, which subsides quickly to tiny bubbles. nose of hops, grafruit, floral hints. creamy, malty, grapefruity taste. 10% abv is well-hidden (not neccessarily a good thing). medioum bodied, light, bitter finish. a fun drink. i hope i don’t finish the bomber too fastly.

#33 Bottle [Sk8viking great American blind tasting] Average fin bubbled off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy copper color with particles in flow. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, citrus, apricot, peach and toffee. Over the palate came smooth hoppy and fruit feel. Quite nice and tasty chewy hoppy beer. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor. Lingering dry hoppy finish. 7 / 3 / 8 / 4 / 16 = 3.8

Dark amber Off white head and spotty lace. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Citrusy flavor combined with a bit of iced tea. Cloyingly sweet.

Pours a brownish amber color with very little frothy head. The aroma is a very sweet malt fruitiness with some raisin plum notes and a moderate alcohol presence. Flavor starts very sweet and fruity like the aroma with some hop spiciness that builds during the finish. The alcohol hits during the tail end and lingers for a little while. Medium body and a bit syrupy. Not bad but definitely not a go-to imperial IPA. Good for the price.
