growler pour thanks to Tony, pours hazy caramel/orange with a thin off white head. Aroma is a mix of booze and caramel and toffee malts. Flavor is very sweet, someone said tootsie rolls, and they were spot on. Sweet candy some nuttyness, ending boozy.

Slightly hazy ruby-tinted copper and amber coloured body with almost no head at all. Aroma of light malt, yeast, honey, curacao, alcohol and pit fruits - strong, but not too strong. Full-bodied; Deep bitter hop flavour at first then fades immediately to an alcohol kick with malt and pit fruits racing behind. Aftertaste is super bitter and alcoholic - only the warmth of alcohol really comes through. Overall, a pretty bad and offensive beer on almost every level. The alcohol and strength really comes through - only some minor fruit and sweetness saves this, but it doesn’t really do much to limit the burn. Not recommended - there are far better beers from this brewery, and at these prices, this is not a welcome choice. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-July-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 03-October-2010.

Bottle thanks to JohnGalt1. Pours out a dark hazy copper topped with a tall head. Aroma was sweet caramel, brown sugar, rich malts, and citrus hops. Taste was more of the sweetness with the caramel and brown sugar leading the way. Also a good amount of pit fruit and citrus hops to round it all out.
