3.2/5
AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 ounce bottle into tulip, bottled Oct 2010. Pours slightly cloudy dark reddish brown color with a fairly dense 2-3 finger khaki head with great retention that lasts for the whole glass. Some soapy lacing on the glass, with tons of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of light caramel, dark fruit, molasses, roasted malt, bread, and some spices. Ok aromas, but there really isn’t that much there that I can detect. Taste of caramel, spices, stale bread, molasses, citrus, light dark fruit, and toasted malt. Finish is pretty dry; with some lingering notes of caramel, spices, bread, and toasted malt on the finish for a bit. Medium carbonation and body; with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel that drinks pretty easily for being 9.5%. The positive note about this beer is the 9.5% is practically invisible. Overall this is an ok beer. The flavors are pretty lackluster and lack robustness for being 9.5%. Has good drinkability for the gravity though.
A smooth beer for being 9.5%, but it last big flavor and robustness one would expect from such a big beer.
