The Middle Ages 10th Anniversary pours from the bomber and into my tulip glass a deep opaque orange with a creamy inch of eggshell head on top. A rather thick pour as well. Aromas begin with a nice blast of citrusy hops upfront, apricot, orange and grapefruit with a bit of herbal, piney notes integrated as well. Sweet bready caramel underneath along with a smidge of butterscotch. From the smell alone I think this has held up well to some age.
First sip brings a sweet bready caramelized maltiness upfront followed by a burst of hoppy goodness. Big citric notes mix in with piney hop oils that rip across the palate with a brash bitterness. Mellow buttery notes are present as well. Goes down with a nice mix of sweet and bitter flavors. A bit of alcohol burn is present after each sip, just letting you know it's there. A tasty DIPA overall that sets istelf apart from others.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with fast paced bubbles that race across the tongue. A bit dry and chalky as well. This one goes down pretty easily for being 10% alcohol. The bomber disappears easily enough, however the buttery notes coupled with the slightly dry chalkiness put me off. Cheers to Middle Ages for 10 years of brewing and thanks to blitheringidiot for the chance to sample this one.

Part one of my beer haul from a Syracuse trip.
Hazy deep amber hue with a short but persistent head.
Ripe mangoes and plums come forth on the nose..A hint alcoholic..subtle yet foreboding.
Taste is in line with the aroma..except there is not a hint of heat at all..a real sneaky brew at 10%.
Full rich mouthfeel with fine, mild carbonation. All in all an outstanding DIPA and definitely a repeat buy in the future!
