Smelled of molasses, toffee, caramel, and fruity hops. Flavor, although similar to the aroma, was less inspiring with the addition of alcohol. Not the best IIPA.

The finish is sweet w/ an asprin touch. Alcohol is undetectable. Although there is an overlying sweetness, the overall flavors are somewhat balanced. Overall: a dessert style. harmfuldrunk (288), New Jersey, USA

Nice looking IPA clear amber, with a nice thick frothy off white head.
Aroma very spicy hoppy, with a slight strange aroma of what can only be described as "barnyard"..odd.
Good strong bready,semi-bitter thick maltiness to start, then it thins out and the hops take OVER, more spruce like than citric.
Ok on the palate but it does start to become cloying..alcohol present but mostly hidden.
An OK DIPA..nothing like as good as Great Divide Hercules..but not bad.
