Tonight's beer:
Starts out quite bitter—grapefruit peel, hints of lime and orange; threads of pine and grass and flowers. Caramel-toasty sweetness emerges through the middle, with ribbons of molasses folded in. Sweetness fades, bitterness remains into a slow and lingering and gradually dry finish.
Right around medium-bodied, with some pretty decent carbonation. Big thick sheets of resinous-syrupy stickiness. Eventually a tad cleansing, inching dryward a little. Maybe a trace of boozy heat and prickle around the edges, pretty subdued for 9.7% ABV.
This is one of the beers I buy every year when it arrive in the stores, still pretty much one of a kind. Imposingly intense and dazzlingly complex, wonderfully well-integrated and something a lot like balanced, considering. Scarily drinkable. Supple and graceful. Superb.
