Had this on tap in Boston Beer Works Dec 2005. Aroma a bit cloyingly sweet with some malt and this continues in the taste deptβ not my favourite here the IPA takes that mantle, but ok.

On draught January 2005 at the Canal St location. Deep golden with caramel/honey tints and a firm, off-white head. Fairly clear. Smells of sweet caramel and powerfully bitter, high alpha American hops. Flavor is beyond unbalanced. This is all hops, with some sweet caramel malt in the background. Citrusy bitter hops at the start, middle and finish. If I had this out of a bottle, I would have poured the rest out. The malt in the background isnt even interesting. It is just sweet, sticky and pure caramel flavor. Full body, is one of the only things this has going for it.
