From the Sam Adams imperial line this is a big beer with big flavor. First impression was yum. Second impression was wow that's some alcohol. 10% abv doesn't kid around. The flavor is wonderfully malty with just enough hops to even of out.
The beer pours a deep brown with a tan head. Head retention was pretty good, still showing traces after 10 minutes. The body and mouthfeel are actually a bit thin. It must be the alcohol.
Its a little pricey at nearly $3 a bottle but worth it as a treat. Crisp and clean enough that is could be paired with a crusty sandwich or even a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream.
9/10 only because its too strong to drink everyday.
