Dark sweet smell. Nice strong fruity hop flavor. Sweetness fades quickly and leaves a nice hop flavor. Eventually that fades and you’re left with a clean dark malt flavor like a good dry stout. Very nice but almost a bit too complicated combination of flavors.
Slightly sweet, heavy aroma. Initial taste similar with a bit of hop flavor hidden amongst a very strong and sweet malt flavor. Finishes malty and sweet.
Not much aroma other than a strong sweet smell when it gets close. Fairly harsh taste bite with a faint aftertaste. Not bad, but feels like you’re taking a calculated sacrifice just to take in the high alcohol. There are better high alcohol beers on the market.
Nice mild hoppy aroma. Good full-flavored hoppy taste that gets the saliva flowing. Nice moderate hoppy aftertaste that fades nicely. Great hop taste, but very well balanced.
Nice hoppy aroma, a bit sweet. Initial taste is good, easy drinking with a moderate hop taste. Aftertaste finishes with a bit of a harsh flavor. Overall pretty good but the aftertaste lets it down.
4 out of 5 Stars.
