Cristalclear orange-amlber beer with good carbonartion and white, slight yellow head. Aroma is interesting hoppy in a clean way. It has a good malty caracter with soft hints of nut, cereals, bread, wood, forest soil and dried shitake mushrooms. Taste is nice and on the dry side wich I like. The nuttyness is slight present and add some complexity to the brew. the crispy hops brings it to balans and the woodtouch brings some extra backbone into the beer. Alc is well hidden and in the afthertaste you could fiend some nutpeel bitterness. BTW, i like the Artwork

Bottle. Aroma has a lot of hops, fruity and with some caramel malt. Taste is fruity and a bit sweet, with lots of hops and a solid malt background. Notes of dried fruits. Thick mouthfeel and the 3 Floyds own brewery taste somewhere as well. Really nice one.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, over ripe fruits, and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with notes of alcohol, fruit, malt citrus and some herbs, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Pours deep golden - almost amber - with a slight haze and a small, rough off-white head. Medium body, very sweet fruit - peaches in particular - and some sweet caramel. Solid bitterness with quite some alcohol in the finish. Nice one. 301109

Label is great, for what that is worth. Sort of a cross between an Imperial IPA and American Strong. Over the top sweet malt flavor with a healthy supply of Hops.
