Candied pineapple and orange peel with background notes of pine on the nose. Quite a bit of caramel maltiness as well. Very similar transitioning to the tongue as a honey sweetness seems to balance the hop bitterness pretty well. One thing that doesn't get balanced very well is the alcohol heat. This has the aroma of a top-level imperial, but ultimately is a bit too hot to get there in the flavor department.
