Pour is a dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is of a roasted malt and some hops. Flavor again starts out with a nice roasted malt but follows up with an agressive hoppy backbone. Like a few others have noticed on here. This is really a hopped up amber ale that push the boundries of the style.

One of a slew of Ale Asylum brews courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep murky copper with tan head. The aroma is pine hops, some resin, a pinch of grapefruit and a mild level of malts and oats in the background. The taste is pretty smooth with malts mixing with pitch bitterness and pine hop flavor. It has a punchy hop bitterness washing over the malts as well a thin layer of black tea.

One of a slew of Ale Asylum brews courtesy of sebletitje. Pours mahogany with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty, sweet milk chocolate, sugary sweetness, some pine hops, chocolate brownie and a dollop of coconut. The taste is a touch bitter to start with dark chocolate, chocolate brownie, a dash of pine hops and dark roasted malts. Nice and rich in flavor for the style. Yum.

One of a slew of Ale Asylum brews courtesy of sebletitje. Pours light mahogany to brown with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty, modestly nutty, dark fruity esters and black strap molasses. The taste is sweet molasses, sweet malts, some malt roastiness, a mild level of burnt malts and then sweet dark fruity esters rounding things out. A touch on the estery side for the style.

orange, off-white head piney hops with plenty of citrus undertones, lush and floral dominance, light caramel malts with a mild bitter profile. at 5.5% this one has plenty to offer on the hop side, light and tasty.

light amber, tan head. aroma, a version of hopped-up amber, lots of citrus in the nose. flavors, roasted malts, with a nice strong hoppy/citrus profile followed by some tasty chocolate and roasted malts. Overall this is one that remains dominated by the hops.

Sweet bonus courtesy of drewbeerme. 12oz bottle pours dirty copper brown with light tan head. The mild aroma lofts up soft notes of sweet malts and echoes of pine hops. The taste begins with an even mix of maltiness, crystal like malts and pine hops. The pine hops become richer and more bitter to midway and seem to gather up a brief note of citrus too. Into the finish the tasty pine hops persist with a background of malts and a touch of crystal malts and roasted malts. The more I drink the more it grows on me. Nearing the end I think I’m getting a bit of floral hops, grassiness and a touch of spicy hops that pop up about midway.

12oz bottle, courtesy of Anndiesel. Deep, murky red-brown color. Steady beige head. Deep, resiny hop aroma. Pretty much a Jr. Barleywine. Big, sticky hop bill and an equally solid malt depth. Some amber-malt fruitiness, but balanced by some chalky specialty malts tones. Big and bold, this is an impressive Amber to have in your brewery portfolio. Well balanced, spot on.
