Bottle: Poured a nice deep copper with a modest beige head. Aromatic with maltiness and citrus, some dark fruits as well. Taste is very balanced with citrus hops, fruit, and malts. Fruity and caramel, nice. Thanks Chad.

Bottle: Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma is heavy roast and coffee. Warming sensation from the anticipation of a high ABV. Flavor is lots of coffee up front, roastiness, and some bitters in the tail. Thanks Chad.

Bottle courtesy of Harlequin. Black with a small dark tan head. Big dark roasted aroma with anice and leather. Big sharp roasted flavor with an odd dirt like note. Lots of fumey alcohol but it really carried the flavors. A littlle espresso and lingering smokey trailer. Nice

Pours deep gold with a slight haze and off white head. The aroma is very green and shrub-like with a mild dash of flower pedals. The taste starts with a brief sweet maltiness that quickly gets covered by green shrubbery, some floral hops and a trickle of malt sweetness. The hop bitterness grows with floral and spicy hops. It ends with a tasty Munich pale maltiness. Very cool interpretation of the style. A mild hop bitterness persists into the after taste.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a crystal clear copper with white head and sheet lacing. Big aroma with an up front attack of sweet malts and fresh grapefruit hops mixed with orange juice. The taste starts with sweet malts, roasty malts and sweet tasting late addition grapefruit to orange citrus hop flavor. The citrus hop bitterness builds as the taste moves forward with a nice undercurrent of caramelized malty sweetness. Grapefruit, orange rind and orange juice take the experience well into the aftertaste.
