Light beginning of "Swedish kids holiday drink julmust" then heavier punch of heavy roasted coco nibs. And a bit of drip coffee. An experience to drink. A good and fun experience. Maybe not your every day beer. — 9 years ago

Half acre makes a great aromatic brew in the D.Cutter. You would be well off having one or two on a sunny day because it's not as heavy as some of its other IPA compatriots! — 10 years ago

Very crisp and strong alcohol beer. Fruity notes with what feels like heavy acid tang. Very good. — 10 years ago

Dark color that is reflected in the nose and on the palate. The aromas of dried lemon and lemon sourdough predominate, but there is also a snippet of lemon verbena and jackfruit, dried apricots, pumpkin, dried mango, dried papaya and a Flemish red beer streak! The lemon and beer notes are evocative of a brew room after cleanup, but a honey note in a spring grove plants you firmly outside. Plenty of sunshine here, and tangerines in a basket with fresh bread. Medium to heavy mouthfeel, and blood orange, grapefruit, lemon drops, grapefruit pith, limestone and a dried grass and chalky lemon pith finish that is exemplary. A writhing, evolving spectacle that boasts the intermittent Apple cider vinegar whisper without offense. Tannins abound, along with lemoncello custard. — 11 years ago

Absolutely one of the best I've had of their line up! 2015 was a great brew. Pours like TAR, sweet tobacco, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, dense creamy lusciousness in a bottle. Never had a beer quite as heavy and wonderful as this. I CANNOT WAIT to pop open the coffee BBS and Barley wine BBS. I'm opening up one more, and then aging the 2nd bottle I have for a few more years to see how it changes! — 9 years ago

This is my new go-to. Full of flavor, robust, and just the right amount of hops. Plus brewed in MD. What more do you need?? — 10 years ago

Up front floral and heavy citrus fruit, quickly followed by bitter hops. Exceptional flavor but overpowered by the hops, leading to a good beer that could have been great. — 10 years ago

Really really cool beer. Smoked imperial stout. Very smokey but not overwhelmingly heavy. Also not as bitter as I expected. This also marks the first time I've had a beer (or beverage in general) from Iceland. — 11 years ago

Big rich mouth feel, mocha, chocolate without being heavy. Balancing hops and acidity. Oats, brown sugar. Or in a word? Delicious. Careful it's 10%abv. Another great beer from Jacks Abby — 11 years ago

It's a beer night. Local stuff from clipper city brewing, not too bad, nice and hoppy, but I like hoppy stuff. Seems like some chocolate malt in there too — 10 years ago

First encounter. Has the looks of a heavy dark beer but is in fact a temping light bodied, sour ale. Fine discovery. — 10 years ago

Smooth German beer. No strong bite nor heavy hops taste. Great, refreshing beer for any or no occasion. Tastes light, crisp and I always love the fact that German beers are pure. Nothing added for flavor enhancement. — 11 years ago

I need a beer app! this is 1990 Thomas Hardy's Ale (6.33 fl oz), from Dorchester Dorset England...with the beautiful nose of an aged port, but it's a beer!!!! still a tiny fizz carbonation, heavy on the walnut, darker caramely favors!! — 11 years ago
