Sly Fox - Ichor

An Abbot style Quadruple brewed with German pils and roast malts and Belgian candy sugar, hopped with German tradition hops. Luscious and seductive, Ichor is brewed for both the body and the soul. This beer will improve with careful aging but is ready to drink now.

I purchased the 22oz bottle of the Ichor and Incubus at the Broad Axe Tavern June of 2009 and shared it with some friends a few days later.

This review was done the summer of 2011 after I purchased a mixed case of Sly Fox's 22oz beers (Incubus, Ichor, Saison VOS and Raspberry Reserve)

The ABV is 10.0 and the IBU rating is 20
Style - Quadruple
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip or Goblet
Delivery 750ml bottle.

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a dark brown color with a tan head.  Good lacing.
Aroma - Malty, dark fruits, molasses and toffee.
Taste - Malty, fruits - plum, raisin and dark cherry.  Hint of spice and chocolate.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation, big body.
Drinkable - A good quadruple indeed that stands up to the Belgium quads.  Purchase a few bottles, drink one now and age the other.

This beer pairs with beef and cheeses.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A.
BeerAdvocate Rating = B+
Ratebeer Rating = 89
