Dennis: Very smooth malts on this one, but with a very light body...which I wasn't expecting after the first whiff. Sure the alcohol is low, and there are no hops, but his is one easy to drink beer. I don't know if it's really worthy of the "high gravity" title per say, but it's a safe bet for lovers of English brown ales (ie newcastle) if they want something a little more...well manly. They should put this in a six pack.
Jen: High gravity, not IMO. Though I find this to actually be good. At first glance, I thought this was going to be overly sweet, but it isn't. It starts with a nice malt flavor that is somewhat nutty and a little sweet. I don't really taste the hops, although I think they mute the malts slightly without giving you that hop bite. As the beer goes on, it gets slightly mundane. I agree (believe or not) with Dennis that this should be sold in 6-packs instead of bombers.
