Bought June 2014 as single bottle from Lemon Tree. Big malty smell right under the cap, and an impression of a higher alcohol beer. Rich, foamy head atop a brown ale body, darker than amber, I think. Taste is indeed big on malts. Hops are there as a kind of sting to one part of the tongue. There may be some oxidation going on. I think because just seeing a name like "Ambergeddon" on the label made me think it must be a higher-alcohol beer that can cellar, turns out it may have sat for longer than it should have.

Sample at the brewpub. Slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium thin fizzy white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of apricots, spruce, hops and malt. The finish is crisp and mildly bitter with an herbal hops aftertaste. Decent overall.
