Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle. Pours a chocolate brown with a minimal head. Aroma is honey brown sugar and hops. Taste is sweet honey, caramel, malt, and lots of hops. Drank it at room temp and it was delicious.

Nimrod shared a bottle of this with myself and Duane. Thanks! Pink wax bottle. Mahogany colored pour with a small head. Low carbonation. Aroma was sugary sweet malts - caramel, toffee and dark fruits. Citrus hops and some booze as well. Flavor matched the aroma profile. Very balanced, smooth, complex and easy to drink. Alcohol started to show through more as it warmed. Stellar bw.

Invisible alcohol with the thickness of maple syrup, the beer pours rust with a razor thin cotton head. The aroma is predominantly brown sugar, caramel, and honey. Flavor is incredibly balanced and possesses both molasses and citus; perfect harmony. Amazing.

Courtesy of Mcbackus. Pours a cloudy brown with no head. Aroma is mostly caramel with little bubble gum aroma. Tastes of caramel with a little funk. Some floral taste, cotton candy. Finishes syrupy with some peppery taste on the back end. Thanks Matt.

Richmond Industry Gathering 2007. Yellow wax bottle. Hazy dark amber body with a small off-white head. Sweet honey aroma, mostly floral. Heavy hop flavor, floral and citrus.

2007 Bottle, courtesy of drewbeerme. Pours an orangish-tinted brown with a small head. Amazingly strong and good aroma of caramel, chocolate, citrus and mint. Nice balance of hops and malt in the taste. Medium body. ’Tis most excellent!

Bottled in 2005: I purchased this at the brewery for $180 a case. I have poured it into a tulip. The slight head quickly fades. The body is a clear amber. When I was at the brewery yesterday, a lady popped one of these, and poured it into a glass. I kid you not, I smelled this thing from 5 feet away. We were standing in the brewery, with all kinds of other smells, yet this stood above them all. The nose is of cherries and pineapples, with a nutty, malty backbone. The alcohol is definitely noticeable. The taste is fu!@#ing huge! The hops are running wild up front. Orange, pineapple, this hop profile could only be pulled off by Nick Floyd. The hops seem to be sweet instead of bitter. They leave an oil slick on my tongue. The malt side has molasses, toffee, and cherries. There is also a nutty, doughy, bready character as well. This is like a big, juicy, alcoholic grapefruit. The mouthfeel is thick and chewy. It is certainly coating. The drinkability is better than average, but the acidity of this prevents me from having another one, for now. I have plenty for later. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-03-2005 05:26:07
