Here is normally where I would bitch about the poor quality of hebrew beers, and curse myself for shelling out the money for trying yet another adjunct-laden piece of garbage - however, this is not the case with this one - is it a great beer? - hell no - but it has its moments - it’s a tad bit sweet, but it has a nice bitter quality to it, with some earthy, almost tobacco-like notes - notes of dried cherries, herbs, brown sugar - hazelnut and maple syrup - some leathery and woody qualities - given the typically one-dimensional quality to these beers, this is surprisingly complex - however, that apparent swaltz corn-syrup sweetness does eventually permeate every other aspect of the beer - still, not that bad - that is, sadly, an accomplishment for these guys - they should stick to the lower-grav beers (ie. coney island lager).

Pour is a reddish brown with a large tan head. Aroma is dark fruit with a big strong dose of chocolate malts. Flavor is again over the top malts with a nice hop backbone. Some dark fruit and caramel linger after the swallow. This is a very heavy and thick beer, it will take you awhile to get this one down but it is very tasty and worth looking for.

On tap at the Vintage Estates in Boardman Ohio, such a great place! Very nice pour, really black and fairly opaque. Has some orange tinge on the corners were the light shines thru. Big chocalte mousse head that fades to a froth after a few minutes. Nice sweet mild candy aroma with an olfactory background of floral hops. Taste is somewhat hop or malt bitter and it is pretty interesting how this brew’s taste evolves. Initially its sweet and happy, just for a nano-second, then it coats your mouth with a giant alky and near whiskey finish. Syrupy at times. Hops certainly make their impression in this brew. Bitter lingering alky hop medicinal finish, tastes just like it’s 11% rating.

Dark malt, dark fruit, and some floral hop. Near opaque brown color with a tan head that didn’t hold. Full bodied. Creamy going to fizzy carbonation. Toasted malt. Chocolate. Prune. Coffee. Oatmeal. Sweetness. Enough hop to affect one’s eyes. Can hardly detect any alcohol. The finish goes towards dry, earthy or woody notes come forth, and the bitter is about enough to balance all this stuff. Pretty darn smooth. Incredibly tasty.

22oz bottle. Pours extremely dark. Aroma is of sweet malts and citrus hops. Flavor is very sweet, malty, and hoppy. Notes of toffee and a fruit (mostly plum) as well. Alcohol is a bit noticeable, but at 11 percent it’s forgivable.

Bottle. Mahogony beer wth a light brown head. Chocolate, roasty, malty, caramel aroma (malts dominate), with some backing citrus. Grapefruit and pine hops give way to chocolate, caramel, roast/coffee flavors. A lot going on, but it complements itself nicely. Decent bitterness. Fuller bodied. Nutty, caramel, chocolate malts linger with pine resin hops.
