Sep 18, 2006 Jewel like amber color with a thin khaki colored head. Dark brown sugar and rye bread nose. Very malty beer with caramel, some plum fruit, and burnt pumpernikel toast. Finish is an almost dust hop.

Sep 17, 2006 Super malty aroma, I was expecting a mean doppelbock-tasting beer. Pruney, woody. Buffered acidity, parched grain, light cocoa, chalkiness. Slow-building alcohol and woody bitterness, which never gets out of hand. A fairly distinctive brew, but it lacks the grassy "German" character that I look for in an alt. Finish built and built and eventually became intolerable.

Sep 13, 2006 Updated: Dec 16, 2006I had this when it 1st came out and didn’t really care for it. Had a bottle last night and it was pretty good. Nice spicy hop flavors as well as roasted malt character.

Sep 10, 2006 a very nice beer to sip slowly and savor. Not the best verison of this style but it is a fairly good reprsentation. I might stick with other victory brews over this one thought. (ie. hop wallop, hop devil, golden monkey)

Sep 9, 2006 A great strong brew. Has a nice dark golden/amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is slightly floral with a definate hop pressence. Taste is very assertive, with a strong hop flavor at first, giving way to a strong, but not overpowering alcohol flavor, and nice smooth finish. Also got a bottle that says, "Enjoy by Aug 01 2006," and it’s September.

Sep 9, 2006 Nice amber color, small head leaving some laces on the glass. Light sweet malt and caramel nose. Some grain taste, medium hoppy that lasts medium long. Ok - nothing special but solid.

Sep 7, 2006 Not sure how well this one cellars, just noticed the bottle says, "Enjoy by Aug 01 2006 and I am pretty sure I bought it after that date. Well, here goes, pours a cloudy copper color with long lasting thick foamy head. Aroma of sweet hops with notes of pear, kind of grainy. Taste is heavy, spicy, finishing with a bitter dryness. Very roasted bitter, slight warm finish.

Sep 7, 2006 Bottle. Quite a strong alt, with a fair bit of caramelly sweetness and slight nuttiness, finish has some grassyness from the hops, but the malt sweetnes probably stands out the most.
