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! — 10 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

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

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

Bottle. Draft. Can. In that order but they all rock. Grateful to be back on the East Coast and able to get my favorite mon-thurs beer....which I love to drink on Fri and Sat!!! Light but not wimpy. Has weight but not heavy....the Grenache of beer!!! — 10 years ago

Very crisp and strong alcohol beer. Fruity notes with what feels like heavy acid tang. Very good. — 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. — 11 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

"It tastes very German!"..."I like German beer". A lot less hoppy than these heavy PACNW beers. "A little backwards from our beers here" $5 / 90pts — 12 years ago

I really like the triple interplay on this cloven Satyr. Bourbon, pumpkin and finally pie spices. The vanillin buoys the whole thing and the clove pokes out behind candied citrus and Apple. Big vanillin opening. Caramel, and an amazing balance aided by the recurring bourbon which tempers the cream soda. Everything just right with this one. #pumpkinbeer #pumpkin #imperialpumpkin — 10 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. — 11 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 — 12 years ago
