Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is rich and malty with lots of caramel and toffee. Lighter toasted bread, nuts and burnt sugar notes. Somewhat fruity with cherries being the strongest note but also some raisin, fig, date and prune notes. Hint of alcohol spice. Pours a somewhat dark brown with some amber tones and ruby hues on the edges. Moderately large, tan, head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing and moderate length legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with lots of caramel and toffee. Some lighter burnt sugar notes with some even lighter notes of chocolate and toasted bread. Medium light bitterness with light alcohol spice. Fairly fruity with quite a bit of cherry flavor as well as some lighter raisin, fig, prune and date notes. Some light grape notes as well. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium to medium high carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer with nice malt and fruit notes, but it does not jump out as an amazingly special beer either. Solid Belgian Strong Ale with cherries.

Poured from a 12 oz can with a March 01, 2017 date. Aroma is fairly malt forward with lots of light caramel, biscuit and cracker malt notes. Moderate grapefruit and pine notes from hops with a hint of alcohol. Pours a somewhat hazy, copper orange with a medium large, thick, white head that exhibits good retention as it slowly recedes. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly sweet upfront with some caramel and biscuit malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with a bit of a bite to it. Some grapefruit and pine resin hop notes. Lingering bitterness, caramel and pine resin. Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied with moderate carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, not a very good IPA. The malt profile is way too prevalent with too much caramel malt. The hop profile is fairly one dimensional and old fashioned as well. I’m glad IPAs have moved away form this hop profile.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/16/2017. Pours hazy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of huge tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, honey, biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fantastic aromas with awesome complexity and balance of juicy citrus/tropical hops, honey, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, honey, biscuit, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, peach, passion fruit, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, pine, honey, biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/pine hops, honey, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance; and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and sticky/resin/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mildly warming alcohol for 9.1%. Overall this is an incredible DIPA! All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, honey, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV; despite the moderately strong/drying bitter finish. Very juicy/dank hops with a nice malt backbone, without being too sweet. Aggressively hoppy, but still really well balanced. A highly enjoyable offering.

Maybe a bit of an old can? The Falconer is lost in this beer, and it is one of my favorite brewing hops so I held high hopes for this. Malt has a heavy hand.
