Commercial Description:
Medium copper in color and with a suprisingly crisp finish, this beer is meant to be savored like a fine cognac.

Pours a dark amber with a thin white head. Malty, spicy hop aroma with some fruit. Taste is malty syrupy with some brown sugar and a thick mouth feel. Strong abv and a little hot. Not the greatest.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of latex paint, dirty laundry, and some hops. Poured orange/amber in color with a small beige head that lasted around the edges. Cloudy. Not sparkling. Medium to heavily sweet flavor. Tastes of malts, hops, caramel, and pine. Light to medium body. Thin, dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Thin, sweet, hoppy finish is lightly dry.

22oz from the MJBC. Faintly dingy pour, a washed out amber with little life remaining. The nose is still sharply boozy though, and it tends to be too present in the flavors, washing out any notable character. Thin and over-attenuated.

Thanks to Ethan for sharing this at the sexual chocolate release. Hazy orange pour. Caramel and over ripe fruity nose. Caramel notes with hints a hops and fruits. Flavor was a little hot

Burnt orange brew with a 1/2 inch tightly packed eggshell head that left without a trace. Aroma is caramel malt, faint hops, and maybe a little fruitiness. Flavor is, well, not very good. The alcohol is way too dominant...sugary sweet and cloying. Syrupy and dead on the palate. Yuck.

Bomber courtesy of BOLTZ7555 – thanks Jason! Pours a clear dark amber with a fast fading one finger head. The nose is mainly buttery caramel malts. Taste is the same with some earthy hops in the finish. Flat mouth feel. Not very good – could be infected.

22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear copper color with a 1/2 finger thick light tan head. Lightly carbonated. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is sweet fruity esters and lightly toasted malt. Flavor is much of the same. The sweetness lingers a bit in the finish. Medium body. A nice beer.
