COLOSSAL V is a rich, full-bodied ale that hews close to the English tradition of old ales, with a dark mahogany color accentuated by ruby highlights. Flavors of toffee and dried fruit are complemented by a subtle hop presence. This beer is specifically crafted for cellaring months or even years.

Draft at the COLOSSAL V Release and 5th Anniversary Party Day 2. Poured a very dark, mostly opaque, almsot muddy brown color with a small tan head atop of it. Aroma was lots of toffee, dried fruits. Candi notes, light earthy hop character. Flavor was lots of slightly sweet dried fruits - raisin, plum.
