Delicious sweet fresh hop aroma. Very broad, “wet” taste of hops. Fairly strong hop flavor, but not crisp, so fades out smoothly and quickly, leaving a nice mild fresh hop flavor. Very nice. Feels like you’re drinking it fresh from a brewery out in a field of fresh growing hops. Date on bottle suggests to consume by 16-Dec-2012, drank it on 2-Sep-2012.
Awesome sweet taste that’s smooth and delicious. Goes down nicely for such a strong beer. The bourbon barrel gives it a nice aroma, but not too strong. The red wax top had a cool look, but was horridly impractical- to the point of being dangerous. Having to cut that thing off while sober is a challenge. Having to do it with a beer our two in me, I’m surprised I didn’t walk away from it with a knife stuck in my hand.
Sharp, hoppy, slightly sweet aroma. Full flavored, but not as much as the aroma would lead you to believe. Finishes smooth and sweet with a hint of hops. Very nice combination overall with a nice balance between hops and sweetness.
Fresh, slightly sweet hop aroma. Full mouth hoppy taste with a slight edge of harshness. Harshness fades and replaced with an overall nice hop flavor. Kind of like a 1-2 punch, where you prefer the ‘2’.
3.5 out of 5 Stars.
