Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #34 (Nov 2009):

So its brother, Hop Wallop, has gained year-round status, and this new hop concoction has taken the winter seasonal reins within Victory's portfolio.

Dark chestnut color, decent crowning of lace. Quick hit of roasted malt in the nose, mostly all hops after that with suggestions of tobacco, grapefruit rind and peppermint. Fresh, peppy hop character, the bitterness takes hold quick and drops layers of complex citric and herbal flavors. Flexed roasted malt tone; unsweetened chocolate comes to mind. Hops don't let go at all, so the aftertaste is packed with lingering hop resin.

A dream of a beer for all you hopheads out there. Perhaps a bit to harsh for the "faint of palate" beer drinkers--nothing we had a problem with though.

A - Dark mahogany with elegant white head that just sits calmly above the top like ducks on the pond. As Stewart Scott once said it is "Cool as the other side of the pillow.

S - I don't really judge a beer off smell but if i did it would probably lose some points. Smells kind of like a lot of hoppy beers (like shit).

T - This is where the beer gains its points. The beer tastes like a perfert version of a nuru massage (I had to use an Asian reference.

M - Simply splended.

O - Second time having this beer. This isn't much of a summer beer but i remember sipping this during Christmas Eve one year and thats when craft beer became a passion instead of a hobby. Not to sure that this beer tops by 10 but this beer will always be remembers because of how it turned me into craft beer.
