poured a dark amber color with a off white head and no lacing. i could smell this as soon as the top was popped. smelled like christmas morning with big powerful pine hops, hard to pick out but there was some citrus and caramel malts in the nose as well. taste prettty much follows the nose with big pine taste, however there was no indication that this is a 9.5 abv as it was hidden well with the right amount of malts mixed in. went down easy with good carbonation and a dry bitter finish, which is what i expected when i first smelled it. cant wait to have another, i think i might cellar one for a little while to see if the pine calms down and doesnt over power.
