First rating in a long while. Bottle. Relatively faint aroma but there’s a sweetness. Crystal clear, dark amber body with a slightly off white head and excellent tree ring lace sticking to the glass. Head not all that large. A good amount of hops greats the tongue, although with a well balanced maltiness. I’ve had plenty of beers that have tried to be this beer, but very few have come close. There’s a bit of an oversaltiness that prevents it from being truly outstanding, but it is an excellent beer. It’s hard to believe that 273 raters could aggregate to so low a score on this. Tastes considerably lower than it’s 8%; I would have guessed 6.25%. Considerably better than it’s rating would suggest.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle courtesy of JRedmond. I’ve been trying to get my hands on this brew for over a year. Basically the last mainstream ST brew that I haven’t rated. Really happy to have finally tried it.. so massive props. The brew poured a leathery brown with off white dissipating head atop. Flavors are strong and hearty for an Non-Imperial Southern Tier... hop is initially present but loads of cereal malts and sugary hay undertone flavors are present. A very strong offering 3.55
