Poured into a New Belgium snifter from a 12 oz. bottle. Huge pillowy light brown head that lingers and laces nicely down. Smell is not terribly noticeable, but i do catch some hop aroma. The hops definitely carry over into the taste also. Great balance, slightly boozy, nice oily mouthfeel.

Sometimes you see threads about value and how it plays into how you review a beer. While this really isn't in the same boat with a bourbon barrel aged RIS, the hop profile and the PRICE make this a more than worthy beer that i will DEFINITELY purchase again.

I am very impressed by Victory's beers, especially this one and Golden Monkey, both big beers with small prices. Hooray for Victory and hooray for my wallet!
