Poured with virtually no head. Deep brown with little lacing. Flavor is nice and acidity with an open boozy finish. I don't find it hoppy enough to carry the name "incredible hop" but whatever. It's good but do not know if I would buy again. Probably not but I can be persuaded if what around it is worse!

Poured from bottle into Chimay Chalice
A: Poured a deep amber to what I would call a "chocolate orange." Head isnt exceptional, but pours at a finger and dissipates to half a finger in sticky lovely foam.
S: This hits you in the face. Let me tell you that I am typing as it sits within hands reach and I can smell it from here. I don't even have a good sense of smell... and I'll be damned if I am pregnant. It smells delicious from here... let's get a closer scent.
Orange. Grassy hops, almost earthy. Chocolate malt. Coffee. Toffee. Carmel. Roasted barley?
T: WOW. Roasted and Toasted flavor. Barley. Chocolate malt. Toffee. Carmel. Hops are not right in your face. They are more of a subtle balancing act. That does not mean that there is a lack of hops... but they aren't hitting you in the face over and over as you sip. Entireably sessionable from a taste standpoint. Alcohol is hidden well.
M: Medium bodied. Malt taste makes this seem thicker than it is. Although... it is a heavy beer.
O: I like this... but it is not what it is advertized to be. Expected more hops. Expected an in your face and punching you at will hop experience. However, for the style, this is pretty damn good. It is no Green Flash Brewing... bur it is tasty. Sessionable - even at 10%. High marks.
