Nice dry, sweet hop smell. Nice strong hop flavor with a bit of malt sweetness. Not much aftertaste other than a faint clean sweetness of grains. Delicious blend of go sweetness and malt grain flavor. Drank on 2/1/2014, so I made it in time.
Very sweet aroma, almost like bourbon. Strong sweet flavor with a high alcohol bite with some hop sweetness. Follows with a strong malt taste which fades slowly into a high alcohol sweetness.
Very notable sweet aroma, thick and heavy. Sharp sweet hop bite, but mellow/smooth on the backside. The barrel aged sweetness slowly sneaks in to the aftertaste. Bottle 438 of 816, small batch brewed. Hides the high alcohol content well. I can’t believe the small print says made with chamomile, rose petals, & juniper. Sounds yuck.
Sweet, dry hop aroma. Grainy, slightly raw hop flavor with a slight sweetness on the back. Fades smoothly with a faint hop flavor lingering. Bottled 9/4/13, drank on 10/30/2013.
Thick sweet aroma. High alcohol sweetness immediately hits your mouth. Fades out to a moderate hop sweetness which tangentially gives way to a mild malt taste. Bottle says 112 IBU, but doesn’t have the typical hoppiness, probably because of the heavy alcohol content. Not very pleasant. Unfortunate I spent about $6/bottle. Says it was bottled 16 months ago, on 6/18/12. Oh well, I’ll save my money next time.
Strong sweet hop smell. Slightly harsh, strong sweet flavor. Can taste the high alcohol bite them fades into a nice hoppy aftertaste that lingers nicely. Bottle says 114 IBU.
