An interesting flavor, like burnt toffee candy, sabotaged for me by really aggressive hopping. Prickly, pithy bitterness is dominant on the finish. Probably would float someone's boat, but not mine.
Pungent, syrupy, sticky and really, really boozy. I could easily believe this being tasty in six months' to a year's time, but it's much too young right now.
Starts with huge hop florality, followed by a bitterness reminiscent of off cucumbers. Finishes with an indifferent maltiness that I wished were sweeter, with that bitter background never quite dissipating. Masks the strong alcohol pretty well, but this was a challenge anyway.
Starts nice, firm smoke aroma and light porter flavor (if overly carbonated) but the second kick of acrid smoke is a too powerful, like drinking a pack of cigarettes.
