Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale

Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale, Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma, CA
(American Strong Ale, Rated 98)

Nice dark amber pour with a thick white head. Aroma is piney, citrus, and a touch sweet. Hoppy bitterness up front followed by a caramel-like sweetness from the malts. Medium body with a flavorful finish. I felt the 9.75% abv was hidden well.
