Bottle. Pours reddish with a small tan head. Smells of wine, trees, spruce. Tastes of spruce and a hint of spice. It’s OK, I wanted more.

sweet & bready aroma. particulates floating around in this orange yellow berw. quite strong smelling with that sweet alarming olfactory. Also strong on the malty palate. does come across like a strong beer fer sure. over the top and has many of the characteristics of belgian brews. difficult at times. somewhat below average fizziness is covered by bitter citrus rude hammer. weww. I’m not much of a high alky beer lover but I must say this is right on style AFAIC! must tbe the strongest beer i ever tasted from yards, oooooo-baby, i think i’m getttin a little dizzy near the end of the bottle.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours a deep red with a dusting of a head. Light caramel in the nose-- maybe a bit of maple too... a bitter Lipton teabag flavor with some fizz and some hint of grass. Um... not bad, not something I’d seek out.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark dark brown color with a thin head. Fairly poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and a bit of chocolate and smoke. Taste is roasted malts, molasses, caramel and a moderately bitter hoppy finish. Medium bodied. I’m starting to dig this molasses beer thing.
