User: mikemoore  (20 reviews/ratings)  Added: 02-11-2013 Location: Glen Ellyn, IL Type: Bottle  Rating: Appearance: Medium brown color, brown head. Aroma: Strong malty, spicy, hoppy smell. Flavor: Malty, spicy, hoppy flavor. Smooth full bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall: A malty spicy full bodied beer. This brew is somewhat hoppy, similar to some light to medium IPAs but with a full body. Although the beer boast an ABV of 8%, a strong alcohol taste or smell permeate through the beer.

This was one of the later beers in the day so my notes are a little fuzzy (or non-existent). I think it was good. Then again, it was a hoppy beer on a day of hoppy beers. I realize this is a useless review. That's why I'm giving it a 3.

Starts off with some sweet malt flavor and spicy rye that gives way to a fireworks display of hops which are mostly piney and grapefruit flavored. The malts come back for an encore at the end. The beer is creamy and sticky. Well balanced and very drinkable.
