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.

This is one of my favorite beers- best when consumed at Ska’s brewery during one of their Ska-b-ques

Mild citrus hops aroma, medium amber color with great head in the beginning. Medium hoppy flavor with mild citrus on top. Not too bitter or complex.

Bottled. Orange coloured. Unclear. Small beige head. Pines, herbs, spices and flowers in the aroma. Flavour is very herbal and full of pineneedles. Is balanced by a ligth fruitsweetness. Medium bodied. Very bitter and citric in the end. Refreshing and very drinkable.

I dont have a badass wall-mounted bottle opener so I had to use a knife to cut away the wax from the cap. Bottle pored orange amber with a smallish head and spotty lacing. Aroma was good but not hoppy enough. Flavor was great with a medium hops bite and not bad at all but I do like a lot more hops! Not bad, not bad at all!

Beautiful amber color, with a big creamy head. Sweet and fruity aroma (mango? apricot?) Then some herbal hop comes out. Good body structure, with sweet toffee flavor, and a fruity bitterness, but not extreme. Very good.
