Pizza Port Switch Stance Strong Ale

The batch I tasted was 11%. Dark amber color. Aroma is floral hops. A big hop flavored beer. Malts are strong. Hops are big and grapefruity. Definite alcohol bite with some alcohol oiliness. It definitely a double digit ABV (11%). Despite the high alcohol it a pretty smooth beer. Well balanced and finishes well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Switch Stance (a surfing term) pours a dark amber color. It has some light hoppiness up front with a malty finish. The nose is rich and malty. Today is a warm day; I think this brew would be better suited for a cooler day. It's a nice example of a strong ale

Very dark brown visual tone hinting almost on black. Slight white head to go along. Definate hoppy aroma. Tastes much like alcohol and licorice, maybe even some jager and additionaly some caramel and brandy. Not too bad at all.

2003. This brew pours with an amber body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The areom is sweet and fruity with a nice citrus note and great piney notes. Great aroma. The flavor is slightly sweet and piney with a touch of citrus and a bit of caramel. Full bodied and amazingly smooth.
