Bottle lists this as a 8.5bbl batch, so I’m glad I got to try this one! Poured a medium to deeper amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of fruits, dark fruity, toffee, caramel, and light citurs. Tastes of caramel, dark fruity, citrus, and lightly earthy. More sweeter than bitter and reminded me more of a barley wine vs. IIPA. Alcohol content well hidden. jcwattsrugger (5582), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Pours a deep amber with a nice fluffy head. Aroma is toasty nutty malts, hints of roast but medium to dulling on the citrus, getting a bit cheesy in the hops, grass, and orange zest- light minty pine as well. Flavor is piney citrus, but dulled out- turing stal eand cheesy, bigger crystal malts come through tooo much- getting a bit muddle,d more pine sap , toffee, molasses sweetness and a tacky bitter finish. Not bad, but not great either. TomDecapolis (3221), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
