Hand bottled with care by Dickinsonbeer. Almost black colored. Milk chocolate and some roast in the lactic aroma. Very malty sweet lactic flavor with roast, tobacco, cacao, molasses. Full bodied. Thick and velvety mouthfeel. First signs of an upcoming sourness. Some pleasant warming alcohol pushed away by the overwhelming sweet maltiness. Very pleasant beer, surviving the long journey although hand bottled. This is a sign of quality. Thanks Paul!

Got in a BIF from MacMalt. 12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 5/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbhonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange, citrus zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, citrus zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, spicy, citrus zest bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, citrus zest, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast note present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, fairly sticky, and slightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is a delicious imperial pilsner. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop flavors; very smooth, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Not quite the hop punch I expected; but the balance between clean Pils/Munich malts and earthy hops was great. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

12 ounce bottle. Dark brown color. Small creamy beige head. Rich, sweet roasted malt nose. Notes of caramel and dark dried fruits. Bittersweet dark wheat malty notes. Clove, plum, raisins, chocolate, earthy, yeasty funk and sweet onion jam. Complex and flavorful with hearty wheat notes. Very good.

I got this bottle, filled by New Beer Distributors, from nutbrown. Thanks Alan!
This was filled in a Grand Teton 1 liter swingtop bottle....
A nice pop when I opened the bottle, it pours a clear golden colour with a 1 finger head of foam. Lots of nice lacing. Head retention was about average.
The smell is very light but there's definitely some biscuit and toasted malt.
The taste is what I expected, judging from the nose. Big biscuit malt flavour, big toasted malt that has a bit of earthiness to it, and a slight citrus hop twang about mid palate. Nice, and man, this is so damn easy to drink. 7.5%?? You gotta be kidding me! lol. The body is medium light and the carbonation is very much on the light side. It finishes like it started; nice malty goodness permeating my tastebuds but oh, there's also a slight bitterness there as well. Cool.
This, I think, would be a *great* beer to drink when is in the midst of hop overload. ;^)
