Nice sweet malty aroma with a good amount of c-hops, some fruit and brown sugar. Flavour is fruity and malty with plenty of hops, a bit of alcohol and a long bitter finish. Holy shit that’s easy to drink! What’s the abv on this sucker? 10%? You wouldn’t know it. Medium to full bodied. Really good stuff, I have no problem drinking a bomber of this.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Deep mahogany pour with tan head. Very intensely sweet and alcoholic nose. The flavor is dominated by very darkly roasted malt, roasted barley, dark fruits, and finishing on a pretty strong alcoholic burn on the tonsils. A touch sticky-sweet texture that coats the mouth like syrup. Very nicely brewed winter warmer ( though consumed today on a 92degree July afternoon.) anders37 (4792), Malmö, Sweden
