Dark and robust brewed in the style of a American strong ale, full bodied and screaming with hops.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of j12601. Thanks! Pours a deep reddish bronze color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee and leafy, resiny, faintly citrus hop notes. Taste is bitter, citrus hops with faint malty notes and a little bit of butter. Medium bodied with a strong, lingering bitterness.

Pours a brown color with a nice looking tan head. In the aroma there are hops, some caramel, and some weedsmell (yeah I know that is kind of weird way to describe it, but that is the first thing I noticed when smelling it) Taste is hearty and full, with a good amount of hops, but they don’t dominate. They share space with the malts. Nice body and good texture. Good beer and it was cheap at the bar I got it.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a largish, foamy off-white head over a hazy brown body. Head stays a while and leaves very good lacing. Aroma is fruity, a but buttery with brown sugar, and pine hops. Taste is bitter with floral notes and burn brown sugar. Light carbonation, creamy mouthfeel.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours crystal clear amber with copper edges and tan head. The aroma is malty and brash with caramel, sweet chewy sticky malts, crystal malts, pine hops and a hint of fruity esters. Man, this smells good. A very satisfying group of aromatics. The tasty bold flavor starts with a sweet rich load of dark fruity esters of dark grapes, prunes and plums. Then a thick blanket of both chewy sweet maltiness and roasted malts enters and rides along for a while. Bringing the flavor full circle is a solid pine hop bitterness. Good god this is tasty. I can drink this all the time.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a biege head. The aroma is sweet and quite hoppy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of hops, grass, and grapefruit. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

22oz bottle-pours a big shaving cream light tan head with lots of lacing and mahogany color. Aroma is nice citrus/earthy hops, some medium malt. Taste is nice citrus/earthy/metallic hops-bitter, some medium malt, nutty, alcohol. Surprisingly on the light side of medium body for a some what thin mouth feel, although a good American strong ale.

From 75 cL bottle, thanks to Storm. Pours hazy amber with a white head. Quite fruity aroma with a distinct grapefruit note. Very dry almost woody flavour which then turns to a quite fruity and almost citric fruity flavour. Finish is dry and citric. Too much dryness for my liking.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College PA this beer poured a dark chestnut color with a very small tan head. The aroma was an odd with notes of caramel and toffee. The flavor was very bitter, tangy caramel with an odd yet undesirably off flavor and a hint of smoke. The beer was rather flat. Eh.

Wow, I’m very pleased with the initial burst of aroma on this - its British ale all the way. There’s a caramelized malt, but its fruity in a persimonny peachy kind of way, and then there’s hops galore. Slightly grassy, like new mown hay, but intermeshed with grapefruit rind. Nice ruby red color with a rocky beige head. Flavor is well rounded up front, full on crystal malt heaviness. This is quickly followed up by a peppery spicy hoppiness. Pretty tingly on the tongue with hop resins, it finishes with a big bold bitterness but somehow balanced with the ever-present big fat crystal malts. There’s a touch of a strong hot alcohol linger in the chest and throat. A bit over the top in the big picture.
