Of course Grond being the great hammer of the ancients whom would become Sauron, and the other Elders, in Middle Earth; not that anyone was noticing. Though I did notice her, it was really a hard sell to my hormones though, and I'd have to wonder if it would be worth the effort. Conquest in its entire essence? Is that all that has meaning? I really think one needs to enjoy at least the mechanical part to make it all worthwhile. Hey, that's just me. This is a medium clear coppery mess with foam that wrote home on the plane and is gone before one noticed it even left. Oh, a nice piney and earthy malty affair on the nose with huge caramel notes, sharp sugar, all sorts of syrup, and not bad at all quite Ann Frankly. Taste is a very malty affair of syrup and some chewy hops, endless sweetness, caramel for days. Ends smooth though carbonation is long forgotten. Hey, ten percent here is working very well and this lands more like a floral tarred feather than any sort of thud. In the realm of hoppy beasts like this, you could do a lot worse.

Bottle, LDB. Dark amber-brown, and bright. Medium head. Looks intense. This one is definitely chewy, lots of toffee and crystal malt and all that. Big bitterness, too. Very old school. There's some mellow orangey fruitiness, some pine, all that old timey stuff. Some alcohol in the finish, and that makes it a bit rough. But it's actually pretty smooth for a beer that's somewhere in between a TIPA and a Bigfooty BW.
