Note to Brewery: Printing Bottled on Date on a dark label with black ink doesn't work.

Poured into a Duvel Tulip glass dark amber with a nice thick froathy head. Great retention and great lacing. Not much of a hop scent to the nose, I do note a woody carmel scent. The taste is not over powering that a hop head might demand. There is a nice hop bite with a sugary almost maple taste. Not much of a noticable wood flavor. The mouthfeel is excellent, no noticable alcohol burn for this ABV. Just the right texture.

I was sure this was well past it's prime, as it had been pushed back into a corner, so I figured what the hell... However, once again I have proven to be very very wrong....

Poured from a 650 ml bottle into a footed tulip.

A: Dark amber hue. Pours a 1 finger, foamy, whitish head. Settles pretty slowly leaving some residue behind as it does. Tons o' cascading, dry, sticky lacing. Head renews fully with each pour.

S: Pine resin, honey, a little grapefruit, butterscotch, and orange citrus.

T: Full of pine resin, with a little raisin. Sweet dark chocolate and butterscotch. Soft, distinct wood character is very notable.

M: Thick, hearty, malty, and syrupy. Pungent aftertaste. A little dry in the finish. Woody, citrus notes hang on the palate. It is slightly harsh. High alcohol content is apparent.

D: Sip and enjoy.

Atmosphere is excellent. Great head, and some impressive lacing. Nose is full of character with prominent characteristic notes of resin, grapefruit, citrus, and sweet. Flavor is a very finely balanced combination of syrupy pine, bittersweet raisin, with candied chocolate and butterscotch, all with a pungent woody base. Thick, hearty, and malty. Overall, this is a great quaff.
