Reviewed from notes. This was poured into a snifter. The appearance was a hazy amber to red color with a decent half finger-ed white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was some light lacing sticking around the glass in a messy sort of way. The smell had a decent boozy strong caramel/sugary sort of sweetness with a glossed over sort of weird melon thing going on. The taste was exactly the same. On the palate, this one came across fairly sticky straight up coating of my tongue. It sat about a medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but constrained to an extent. Overall, this was a decent American Strong Ale I think I could have again.

Appearance: Nice red body with a rocky, 1.5 finger light beige head, good racing.
Aroma/Flavor: Big floral and pine hop character, with nutty-caramel backbone. Bitterness is pretty balanced.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, dry lingering finish.
