I had been waiting for this for ages and the local Binny's provides as if by magic. Intrigued to investigate this ultra-hopped monster. Pours a rich syrupy chestnut (lovely warm color) with very little carbonation evident, no head, minimal lacing. Dark malty, floral hop aroma. On the palate, noticeable sweetness to begin, complex caramel malt tones, I did not think the hops overdone here oddly enough, stretching out to a lingering drier espresso bitter finish. It was redolent of an aged oloroso sherry or Madeira and almost the same alcohol level. Also thought it a bit like a darker, maltier Brown Shugga with more depth. Others have commented on the obvious alcohol (it is high); but I did not find it intrusive at all. Sipping and contemplation essential.
