I was a bit disappointed with this beer. I may had too high of expectations as I was hoping for an Arrogant Bastard or a Wailing Wench.
Appearance: Served a dark brown color mostly opaque with a bit of a cloudy gritty look to it.
Smell: Slightly sour apple and brown sugar aroma.
Taste: *VERY* very sweet! borderline cloying. Granny smith, Werthers Originals candies, and caramel candies are swirled in the extremely malty thick sticky taste. There is only a hint of muted sour / bitter in the finish. Big sweet taste but not balanced and not what I was expecting from an American Strong Ale.
Mouthfeel: Thick and sticky. Like a Wee Heavy style beer. This is not bad, I like a thick heavy beer but not what I was expecting from the style.
Drinkability: I am sorry to say that even one pint glass was a bit much to get through. Pleasant taste but *extremely* heavy.
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
