Made with live yeast, this is our strongest ale. But it’s also beguilingly sweet, fruity and smooth. Our promise: you’ll live to tell of your encounter with the beast.

Bottled. Deep orangeish amber colour with mediumsized off-white head that leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some hops, a bit leathery notes as well as slightly grassy and fruity notes as well. Flavour is leathery, honeyish, sweet malty as well as some mild toffeeish notes and mild spices. Alcohol is rather wellhidden, but gives a slight warming touch.

Bottle. Pours a reddish amber with an off-white head. Aroma is malty with strong notes of wood and also reminds me a bit of scotch. It seems as if you can smell some of the alcohol. Flavor starts malty but a sour citrus taste develops and the dissipates at the end leaving a malty aftertaste. This is definitely different, but I am okay with it.

Pours hazy copper with off white head. The aroma has some punch with it emitting light colored fruit notes, sweet – tart candy, light earthiness and sour yeasty notes. The taste is bright and punchy too with tart candy and modest sourness to go along with a spectrum of berry notes going from sweet to tart. Is this a Scotch Ale meets a Sour? It comes across as interesting but not tasting all that great.

courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours orange, white head. Aroma and taste, high carbonation, floral hops, malty,c aramel. Roasted malts cover the palate, and the beer has an unusual tartness to it, possibly of the herbal flavor. Mixed with some sweetness with an honey like palate.

Pour is a cloudy red with a small tan head. Aroma is fruit vinegar with some sweet malts. Flavor is lots of berry with some dry malts and again the vinegar. Finish leaves a sourness on the tounge. This is just ok nothing great and nothing really bad to say.
