12oz bottle served in a perfect pint glass.

L - somewhat hazed amber color with a off-white head that stayed around for a while leaving a few streaks behind.

S - malty, similar to a scotch ale aroma with a floral background.

T - what starts out sweet and malty takes a turn to citrus rind bitterness finishing with a sticky sweetness on the lips.

F - medium bodied, it's a little chewy, warm and it is a sipper for sure.

O - whatever style this beer may be, it is a tasty one.

12 oz Bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottled on 9-19-12

Appearance: Bright orange/amber with a nice 1" head that hangs around, very nice lacing.

Smell: Still (after all this time) some nice hop aroma over a malty sweetness.

Taste: The hops held up very well as they balanced the beer with the caramel and toffee notes from the malt. This beer is drinking very well right now as all the flavors are working well together and no single flavor dominates. Again, a pleasant amount of hoppy bitterness balanced with malty sweetness.

Mouthfeel: Clean and crisp on the palate.

Overall: At nine months this is still a very enjoyable beer, I imagine the hops would have been far more dominant fresh.

Poured into a snifter. Back label says PKGD 09/13/12

A- From a heavy pour comes a 1/2 inch tan head that retains well before becoming a thin ring around the edge of the glass and a sheer half patch of surface foam. Semi-resilient lacing streaks down the glass.

S- Sweet malt aroma with notes of raisin, sherry and brown sugar. Very complex as it entices more sniffs.

T- More caramel-like sweetness with a hint of bourbon. Remarkably well-balanced with the hops providing enough bitter to counteract the sweetness and booze. Kind of drinks like a barleywine but exhibits a surprising smoothness that's uncommon for that style. Truly unique. Notes of dark fruit and rum-soaked raisins.

M- Moderate alcohol sting and a bit on the dry side. Medium carbonation and a body that leans toward the fuller side.

O- Easy drinking in the beginning but it kind of wears on you after a while and becomes a slow sipper. Still quite different from other strong ales I've had.
