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.

Slightly hazy amber, not much head. Somewhat medicinal aroma with pear and peach fruitiness. Actually a little watery, with light citrus accents, some chewy caramel. Not much going on.

sample on 6/5/08, rating from notes. great aroma and solid deep golden appearance... but becomes more average through the palate and flavor profile. Medium body, soft palate and decent finish. A good, yet average IIPA.

Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours crystal clear copper with tan head. The aroma is a bit of pine hops and malts to go along with cherry and dark fruity notes that I’m just able to identify before I must pull my nose away due to the aversion reflex caused by a snoot full of alcohol heat. The taste is mostly sweetness moving into cherry and sweet strawberry dark fruitiness. To midway and the finish sweet sticky malts surface along with a moderate level of pine hop – like flavor. It gets mildly medicinal for a moment or two before the sweet dark fruity esters take it to the finish. A bit warming too. Comes up way short on hops for the label stated style, IIPA, that I’m used to. I’ve had a couple dozen barleywines hoppier than this.

Pours a clear glowing red with a tint of brown and a small off-white froth. Horrible aroma of soy sauce and vegetables, some cotten candy and fridge. Yucky malts, subdued bitter pine hops and cotten candy flavor. Medium/full body with decent smooth mellow carbonation, slightly sticky. A mess but not terrible.

Bottle... MBSBF’08 ... Slightly hazed amber ale with orange highlights and a small, white, big bubbled head. The fruity aroma provides notes of tropical fruit, toffee and lactic acid. Phenolic as well. Medium to full-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Leans on the sweet side of balance... lots of toffee. Finishes sweet with additional gobs of toffee. Very one -maybe two- dimensional.

Bottle, thanks hopscotch. Bright amber, medium head. Herbal, some esters. Moderate phenols, slightly medicinal. Banana. Rubbing alcohol. Strong, not multi-faceted.

Bottle, pours a clear amber. Aroma is citrus grapefruit. Flavor is hoppy with a dry finish. Mainly citrus flavor with a big hop punch. This is nice.
