Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Aroma is a mix of floral/resin/citrus. Med body. Flavor is floral, citrus, resin. With a slight roast caramel background. It’s rather hoppy, and the malt is more restrained than many APAs. Finishes with dry, moderately intense hop flavors.

[5/2/13] Draught at Mikkeler & Friends in Copenhagen. Deep red-brown color with a beige head. Malty aroma of caramel, spices, lots of dark fruits (plums, cherries, raisins) - somewhat vinous and liqueur-like. Sweet malty flavor, very spicy, with caramel and honty. Somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Hard to drink.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a small foamy dark tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was dry and roasty with faint notes of coffee, chocolate and floral hops. The flavor was dry, roasty and bitter with a bit of coffee and floral hops but no chocolate. Medium length finish and medium body. Disappointing.
