Charlottesville Area Masters of Real Ale

Uh..., no.  Don't do it.

Not, I repeat, NOT, your typical wit beer.   

Very thick is how I'd describe the body and a head that won't go away - ever.  Maybe what I should have expected, but didn't.
Plenty of coriander and slight orange flavors.  Aroma was very nice. Alcohol to taste (10.3% ABV).  Nothing refreshing about it at all, but, like I said, I probably shouldn't have expected it to be like a normal wit beer with just higher ABV.

About $10 for a 4-pack at Harris Teeter.  I choked them down, not all at once - 10% ABV remember - I'm not wasting money down the sink! 

The last of the 4 was much more tolerable with "food".  Frito Lays corn chips, with their HUGE salt content, did the trick.

If this style wit beer is just one I don't know of (I'm NOT that versed in the vastness of beer styles), someone,
PLEASE feel free to tell me that I'm just ignorant.

Wow.  I was considering trying some of their imperial series, but had not laid down the cash yet.  I will definitely avoid this one now.  Anyone try any of the other Sam Adam's imperial beers?

I've only had the Double Bock so far.  It is good, but it is nothing in comparison to what it used to be ~10 years ago.  Back then it was deep, dark and full of melanoidins. 

Now, it is similiar to the Troegs Dopplebock.  But I do not intend to damn with faint praise.
