On September 3, 2008
Labelled 10.4% ABV Clear copper color, tan head. Sweet caramelly malty and grainy scent mixed with some citrusy hops and even more alcohol, some marzipan also. Bitter, more bitter finishing rather bitter taste. Alcohol aftertaste and also warming. Full mouthfeel, big bitternes. GAve it two rating, about 3.2 when honest, about 3.7 when considering it was a good effort, it did grow on me when getting more into the bottle, so finished at about 3.5 at last. vyvvy (1689), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Aug 23, 2008 Pours clear reddish copper with a tan head. The aroma is very sweet wheat, brown sugar, molasses, hoppiness, some abv and lots of fruitiness. Medium / thick body with a good bit of semi-soft frothy carbonation. The flavor starts with alcohol, brown sugar, some cereal, toasty wheat malt and a bit of abv burn. The finish has lingering alcohol. This was good, but didn’t hide the high alcohol very well. wickedpete (566), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Aug 21, 2008 Thanks to Ryan for this one. Clear dark gold to amber color, thick beige head. Aroma is sweet and hoppy, brown sugar, and spicy hops. Nice bitter hop flavor balanced well with brown sugar maltiness, and an earthy hop character. Not too thick with a fairly dry finish. lassem (110), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 20, 2008 Pours a clear dark amber with a orange fluffy head. A little lazy appearence. The nose is peaches, orangepeel, caramels and tons of hops. A thick and overwhelming palate with a oily touch and sparkling on the tounge. Taste is with dark honey, brown burned sugar and a clearly presens of alcohol. The finish is long and very bitter...wont do good in the beer-bong..but slowly in the glass...lovely
