Strong sweet aroma, concentrated, almost like honey. Strong bitter hop flavor gives way to a slightly caramel malt flavor. Aftertaste is a drying malt taste with hop bitterness lingering in the background. Tastes like a strong beer, and is, at 8.9% ABV. Up front and in your face with an assertive, but not quite overpowering flavor assault.

4.5 out of 5 stars.
