    I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in this beer. I'm usually a fan of heavily malted beers, but this one... something is wrong; the hops and the malt just don't mesh. The hopping seems like something that would work better with a less heavy brew. Also, it seems like the fermentation was pushed a bit farther than it needed to be. BTW, the label has been changed.

    I had one of these at Thanksgiving - it wasn't bad. I had it with a dozen or so ice cold oysters. The beer was big and warming. That being said, it was a tad boozy for my liking. Overall a better than average beer.

    Purchased on my trip to Vegas at the Total Wine store. Second of the Sam Adams Imperial Series tonight (Nov. 17). Pours a deep amber colour with a small beige head that does not stay long, but creates a bit of lacing. Medium scent of dark fruits (dates, plums) and caramel malts. Smooth oily mouthfeel. The taste is pretty close to its smell, with notes of bananas and nuts. Pretty well-brewed, just not my thing.

    It pours a dark amber & burnt-orange with a thick white-orange head and fairly copious lace. An aroma of caramelized barley malts, faint hops, citrus, and light spices. The mouthfeel is pretty thin. Flavors of caramel malts, hops, orange, light raisin, bread and yeast, alcohol, and spices. It's flavorful .. good indeed..

    As with the old Double Bock, I prefer to leave bottles sit in the cellar for about a year. A very nice soft transformation develops creating a rich, smooth, densely flavored bock. Dark fruits with a hint of molasses and fresh breads.

    This brew was ok. It did pack a punch. The taste was malty with a strong alcohol floor. I was surprised that SA would allow such a flavor to fall past them. The crunch of the brew was out there.

    got in a mixed 4pk .. 2 stouts, one horrid white, and this .. . Pours a medium brown, low healthy head, some sparse lacing .. . light sticky mouthfeel, a bit disorientating, but made for the masses .. . i didn't really care for it but whatever .. . I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place.

    Has a very rich, strongly malty, somewhat yeasty and subtly fruity and smoky aroma - very inviting. Pours a dark clear mahogany with a thick, fluffy, light buff head that likes to stick around. Strong, spicy flavor attacks the tongue with some hoppy bitterness and a firm alcohol bite. It has a smooth, malty, slightly fruity undertone that cools on its way down the pipes. Finish is lip-smacking, jagged, zingy, tingly and spicy.

    Pours a deep reddish-brown - mahogony, perhaps - with a thin, lackluster head, but with generous lacing throughout. Flavors of caramel and chocolate. Too sweet for me for anything other than a dessert beer. Quite filling.
